Dear KC,
I have just ordered an infrared to parallel adapter from Enabling
Technologies. I don't know if it will work on my Everest-D embosser, but
I'm going to try it.
A person on the list who has an embosser sold by Enabling Technologies is
Jim Aldrich. Perhaps he'll jump in with some ideas for you.
As for my braille, I enjoy it and I use it a lot, but the NLS folks didn't
think it was good enough to meet their standards. (grin). But I have sent
many .brf files to people and they haven't complained about my braille.

Dear Terri,
I know where you are coming from in learning what you need to know on our
own. However, I suspect you are a proficient braille user, and that helps
when dealing with the embossing issue.
Wow! I can't beleive I've found somoene who HATES MS-Word! The day I had
to stop using Word Perfect was a sad one. (That was all we were allowed
to use at work!)
I have a Romeo-25 embosser. As yet, I haven't figured out how it would
work with the BN or my new Mpower Transplant. If anyone on the List has
experience using their embosser with Mpower, I hope they will share it
with us.
(Good luck Terri. I'm sure you'll have a handle on the embossing issue
before long! :-)
KC

Dear KC,
I'm not really that smart. I learn what I need to know to do the things I
want and that's it. I hate MS Word and I use it as little as possible.
Ido
as much of my editing on the BrailleNote.
I hope to be able to emboss with my MP soon. Right now, I must use either
the PC or the BN classic.

Training is a crucial issue. (Terri, you must be pretty shart to pick
up a lot on your own. Some folks just get too frustrated, or may be new
to blindness and easily discouraged.)
I agree that it would be wonderful to use my BN for everything. The
only thing I don't do with it is stuff that has to be printed or
brailled
in hard copy. (I download books and shop for groceries with it.) I'm
especially thankful for the "no virus" bit, because updating your
atni-virus progrma when using dial-up can be a pain in the butt!

I've had no training. I just picked up things as I went along from
other
people. I'm sure most people know more than I.
If I could, I'd use my BN for everything.

Hi all,
Terri, some people have never been trained properly to use the open or
the save as dialog in Windows. That isn't her fault.
Mary Ellen, the Save As dialog has several options in it. You can,
as Terri suggests type the drive name in the edit field for your book,
but you do not have to do that. If you simply press shift-tab, you
will land in a list box which is the list of all the files in your My
Documents folder. Use the backspace to exit to your desktop, then
choose My Computer, arrow down to whatever you call your flash drive,
press enter, then tab to the edit field, type in your file name, and
voila!
Ann P.
