Yup, Maria, if you saw my other post (I'm not sure if you have replied to it because I am still plowing through the mail in my Inbox), then I did say that's definitely a good thing. I think that getting the latest Keysoft version burnt in as an extra service on your BN, covered by the PMA, is harmless. Sending the unit just for that is a little overkill, <grin>. Of course I don't mind if you (or anyone else) state your opinion. Anyone can do that, and I expect that anyone else will also let me do that without thinking that I'm out to offend or embarrass them. For a 15-year-old, you seem to be more mature than other people. Thank the Maker for that.

Someone told me it cost $200, so it's kind of a relief for me to find out >it costs half of what I thought it did. However, you're right in thinking >that $95 can buy you some memory cards. I think the reason it's so expe nsive is that it's not really mass produced like mainstream software, but it is still a lot of money when you think of it in terms of mainstream applications. Just a thought. >Maria >> ----- Original Message ----- >>From: "Roselle Ambubuyog" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>To: Braillenote List <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2004 12:06:10 +0800 (PHT) >>Subject: ROM version Re: Virus on Keysoft?
