My download speed is too slow to download the complete chat, so I looked at
the summary.
One of the questions related to usb to parallel connectors. Some users said
to "just look around."
If I remember right, the BN won't work with the garden variety usb to
parallel adapter. The only one usable is the expensive one sold by
HumanWare.
I wish I could use any common usb to parallel adapter. Why should we have
to pay
approximately $200 for a usb to parallel connector?
I'm disappointed I can't emboss anything with the BN Mpower.

Well, I'm replying to my own message here, as I neglected to add that I
downloaded each of the files to a compact flash card, so don't know what
would happen if someone tried to download them directly to the flash disk
of
the BN. That might very well work okay, but I didn't use that method.

Subject: [Braillenote] the BN chat last week and
Hi Rhonda and All,
Rhonda, I noticed you talked about the notes of the BN chat session last
week in a previous message. So, I wasn't sure if you had actually
listened
to the chat, and was just wanting to let you know that I was indeed able
to
download the chat using my BN mPower. Of course, because of the memory
issue, I couldn't stream the chat, but had to use the download option.
Now, truthfully, guess one would kind of have to want to listen to it,
though, as downloading it does kind of make the BN act funny afterwards.
I
mean, the BN is real sluggish, I mean real sluggish, and the only thing
that
fixes things is a hard reset. I tried with two files, each close to the
30
MB range, and had to hard reset my BN both times.
But, if one wants to download and then listen to the BN chats, or the
first
two BN tutorials that Joseph has done, they are indeed able to download
them
with the mPower--well, at least I was able to do so, taking about twenty
minutes per file with my wireless connection.
Also, while I'm at it, there are the BITS presentations done during the
ACB
convention that may be
downloaded from the BITS podcast page. And, in case someone asks, BITS,
Blind Information Technology Specialists, are an affiliate of the American
Council of the Blind.
Here are the two links to the pages in question:
