I use both the Icon and the Pac Mate. The Pac Mate makes the Braillenote look like a rock solid device. However, the Icon will open all of the Word documents that the Braillenote seems to have trouble with.

I feel the same way. I never had these problems until the upgrades started. I am not saying upgrades are bad, but I think, and I am not a professional programmer (yet) so I am not sure how this could work, that giving ks a different structure would help. Make a core ks prog that handles all the stuff like translating braille and spech, talking to ce, and so on, then have a separate exe or dll for each application so that upgrades do not hurt apps that used to work, like keyword or keyweb.
