Golly, Gee wiz! Josh! Sorry about not having the winning ticket numbers. This is what I took down about the upgrades. I'm sending it along, hope everyone will stick with me here. I'm not sending the whole thing. KeySoft 6.1 will require an upgrade of the BrailleNote's operating system to Microsoft's Windows CE 4.2, meaning more exciting enhancements are just around the corner. BrailleNote is combining the power of Microsoft's latest mobile computing offering with a user environment that's intuitive, convenient, and most importantly of all, efficient. With our BrailleNote development team now triple the size, the fun is just beginning. Easy Upgrade. Goodbye to back to base ROM upgrades! KeySoft 6.1 owners will receive a compact flash card in the mail, allowing users to upgrade their operating system and burn KeySoft 6.1 into ROM. Have the latest Microsoft technology and more space on your flash disk for your data. And so much more, to be announced before release. Upgrading for Software Maintenance Agreement users There are two components that are essential for KeySoft 6.1 to run on your BrailleNote. Firstly, there is of course KeySoft itself. But secondly, there's the need to upgrade the operating system. When you subscribe to most software maintenance programmes, you are still expected to take responsibility for keeping your operating system current by paying separately for that. At Pulse Data, we realize that you've made a significant investment in your BrailleNote or VoiceNote, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to take advantage of this breakthrough release of KeySoft. So we have a special deal for current SMA holders. You may use one SMA count for the operating system upgrade, and another SMA count for KeySoft 6.1. Please note that both the operating system and KeySoft are required. That is to say that older versions of KeySoft will not run on the new operating system, and the new version of KeySoft will not run on the present operating system in your Bra! illeNote. If you are a current SMA holder but only have one upgrade remaining before your SMA expires, you may purchase a second SMA for the price of the SMA compact flash option. This means that you will be able to complete the KeySoft 6.1 upgrade by using the remaining upgrade from your first SMA, and the first upgrade from your second SMA. If you do not currently have a software maintenance agreement, the cost of KeySoft 6.1 is USDD399 plus shipping. Note that everyone who purchases a BrailleNote after the release of this announcement is entitled to a free upgrade to KeySoft 6.1 when it ships, meaning you can use all the great features of the BrailleNote today plus get all the new good stuff at no additional charge. We'll keep you posted on when we will be taking orders, as KeySoft 6.1's delivery gets closer. We're excited about delivering the latest in connectivity to complement the most powerful, feature-rich blindness PDA on the market today.
