I would like to choose from the following options: all files, all files except program files, all word processing files, all database files, keylist files, keyweb files, etc. I would make "all files except program files" my default.

Insofar as being intuitive, I would say : that the Braillenote is easy to teach because it is extremely consistent : and all actions are menu driven.

I have : never : owned a braille note, although I'd like to get a voice note and gps. I : understand that back when the note family was introduced, not many blind : people were familiar with Windows. Most of us dos users did not go : quietly into the Windows world, and the learning curve was steep for : ost, myself definitely among them. Its been said that the keysoft : interface is intuitive flr blind people. My sense is that peoples' : reactions to this : whole notion of changing the interface has to do with what we are : familiar with and what is intuitive for us because of familiarity. It : strikes me that not being able to open files from the file manager is : certainly not : intuitive. Would those of you who don't want the Windows interface : agree? As a non-user of the Note family of products, and as one who is : fairly familiar with Windows, I admit that I find the idea of learning a : : nonstandard proprietary interface, which I won't be able to use anywhere : else somewhat off putting. and please, nobody suggest that people who : want windows should buy the compeditive products, which may have : other serious shortcomings. For those of you who like the present : interface, what would you say are advantages over Windows? Lack of : multitasking is a disadvantage, as is not being able to open files from : within the : manager. Context sensitive help is good, but its not interface : dependent. You can have that sort of help regardless of interface. So, : what's good about the keysoft interface that you don't feel is present : or is not : efficient in a more Windows-like interface? : Mary. : : : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : : : __________ NOD32 1.1328 (20051219) Information __________ : : This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. : http://www.eset.com : :
