Yes, ma'am, there is a difference. As you rightly note, the microdrive has moving parts; the flash card uses the innards of the host device--the BrailleNote in this case. Compact flash cards are readily available and very, very handy. I also bought a card reader at the same time; it's a little device that can best be compared to a disk drive, although it's much smaller; Hooks up to the USB port on the PC and allows management of the files on your flash card in the same way you'd manage files on the computer's hard drive. If you're using DOS, I have no clue about the card reader. Windows XP recognized it right away, but I'm guessing that if it worked in DOS at all you'd need drivers installed.
Live chat on the BrailleNote is not possible.

Remember, I am a computer user only with a brain the size of the proverbial pea. Isn't a micro-drive different from a Compact Flash card? I have a micro-drive--it's got moving parts, right? it's five gig and I like it fine. But I'd like to store on a flash card with no moving parts. There is a difference, right?
