Where do the files live?

I was able to download my first webpage from the Dolphin browser to my tablet. It indicated that the file was placed in the /nand directory. I started my file manager and looked for that directory, but couldn't find it. I want to be able to go to a directory and select the html files I saved and open them in a browser. More searching and studying needed on my part.

I still have a love / hate relationship with Swype. It works pretty well when I use the stylus to swype, but gives me extra letters when I use my finger tip. Last night I was trying to enter a URL and every time I pressed the . key, Swype would change the name of the URL to what it thought I meant. Not good. I reverted to the default keyboard to enter my URL. I wonder if there is a way to turn off this feature in Swype? I need to watch more of the Swype tutorial videos.

I tried to download ASTRO file manager using the URL that was emailed to me. Unfortunately it refused to download because this tablet is not rooted and does not have access to the Android market. So I am going to try and find it on some of the alternate sites: slideme.com, getandroidstuff.com, m.getjar.com, givemeapps.com, appbrain.com and freewarelovers.com/android. Hopefully I will have more luck there. I don't want to root my tablet at this point.

Tomorrow I hope to hook up my tablet to my laptop and transfer some files.
