Hi Paul: I think you have to remember when a cf card is left in the unit in my opinion the unit is poling not only the unboard disks meaning the keysoft disk and flash disk also any other external drives/cards etc. When you go in to file manager of course you have those external devices constantly being poled.
Not sure if this is a good deffinition but it sure would make a difference. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Henrichsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 6:18 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] braille note and holding a charge > Hi, Andy.
