[nabs-l] security alerts on the braillenote

[Patrick Molloy]

Along the same line as the original topic of this post, I'm wondering
why it is that Bookshare, which is in the "my favorites" folder on the
BrailleNote, would give us such a hard time when trying to get on. I
was trying to download a book this past weekend and must have run into
a dozen of those security alerts. Sometimes I can just exit out, but
other times, I exit out and there's another security alert!
