That's all right, Maria, don't sweat it. I'm just surprised, and now I'm curious. I hope someone from PDI can confirm if ever the KeySoft System Disk can now be upgraded to have more than 8 megs. If so, I'll sooner spend money on getting that upgrade rather than v5.0 in ROM. As for now, I can only play up to 4MB of wave files, download up to 6.7 MB of files from the internet using Keyweb, and am always scared to death that I'll lose part or the entire contents of a file whose size has reached up to 6.5 MB (due to the possibility that the dummy file created in the Temp folder will crash). It would be nice to have more space in the Keysoft Systems Disk. Better yet, it would be nice if these functions didn't rely on temporary storage or accessibility in the Keysoft Systems Disk.

I really don't know what's going on, but I'll check in a few days, and get back to you on the numbers. My appologies to everyone if it does turn out that the numbers were wrong for awhile, because I know this can be misleading. >Maria >> ----- Original Message ----- >>From: "Roselle Ambubuyog" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>To: Braillenote List <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2004 09:22:35 +0800 (PHT) >>Subject: Re: [Braillenote] wav files to mp3 >>Maria, >>Are you saying you have more than 8 MB of total space in the Keysoft Systems >>Disk?
