Great message Terri! There are many features on my m-power I do not use, because I have not learned how to or because I do not need them. The main thing I love my m-power for is to be able to read and write what I want and be able to read it back. I am losing my sight and need to stop using jumbo print. My m-power is a blessing to me, especially at work. Your donation idea is great. Many of us are always wanting more, when there are many a country that hardly have any Braille books, braillers or slates. We need to count ourselves as very lucky. Terry Powers

They want a notetaker to do everything a PC can do. Even mainstream PDA's can't do that. Notetakers and PDA'shave scaled-down versions of software in them and they don't have the power of PC's. Blind people in under-developed countries don't have notetakers and they'd love and appreciate any notetaker. So, if anyone wants to part with a BN or VN because they think it's too old, he or she could donate them to organizations which help the blind in other countries and take it as a tax deduction. It's a crime to let something which is still usable "gather dust." If the equipment doesn't meet your needs, don't whine, just do something about it.
