Kim, ann and others; the biggest thing I like about the BN is that there is more than one way to do something. If you forget the letter to get to a item on a menu all you have to do is arrow down until you find the item you want. For someone like me, who has trouble remembering things, I use the arrow keys on the menus and memorize other commands as I learn them. For an epeleptic, like me, this machine is logical and logic is my best quality. I love my BT and I am sure I will love my m-power.

Seems Robin Goodfellow has placed the juice of that plant in her eyes and she is no longer in love with us. We'll have to see if we can catch Puck and tell him to correct his mistake. (Sorry, folks, I can't help it. I hear Lysander, and I can think of Naught but Shakespeare.) She may not be on the list still. Her post seemed to indicate that she was leaving the list. One thing I can atest to is that the competition is just as zealous. If you join the other list, you'll get the same sort of thing, and the staff of the competition, at least the most well known competition, doesn't participate in that list at all. I can understand Roger and Jim's point of view, but guys, when the Nokia 6682 cell phone can do most things which a PDA can do, and if you add Talx to it, you've got a fine PDA, then someone who asks cogent questions about equipment is worth hearing. Now, I don't plan to use my 6682 for a PDA, I want a talking phone, and I want it at a good price. I may connect it to my BrailleNote, but the Nokia lacks one thing which the BrailleNote has, and that's Braille. There's no substitute, folks, none! Choices are getting more and more numerous, and it behooves us all to be aware and awake when they come along. Especially as trainers, it is vital that we keep a finger on the pulse, excuse the pun, of the technology. My advice is, rather than criticize someone who is asking questions publicly, write privately and ask what prompted the public post. Then, improve the product. Nothing's perfect in this old world, nothing, except God Almighty. People, and the machines we make are always in need of improvement. That doesn't make the product bad, it makes it competitive! So, Kim if you're still listening, keep asking questions, explore your options, make your decision based upon knowledge. And most importantly, listen to users, but listen with a discriminating mind. Then, make your decision. I don't have your address, I'm afraid I deleted the email long since, so I hope somebody gets this to you. Someone with a discriminating mind is the best buyer because as a merchant, if that buyer takes your product, you know that it's because of the worth of the product, not anything else.
