Hi Don, in response to your third question, if you're stuck any time, just press the help command, which is space with dots 1-2-5 on a BT keyboard, and on a QT comes a dedicated help key, which you can press to perform the same function. The help I find is very intuitive and allows one to get really into grips with their BrailleNote/VoiceNote mPower BT/QT and BrailleNote PK. This also applies to the BrailleNote/VoiceNote Classic QT as well. Hope that helps.

Roberts Sent: Monday April 28 2008 7:31PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Braillenote] General questions Hello, As I am a new Braille Note Mpower user, there is much for me to learn. I am willing to read documentation but find myself feeling impatient at times. I now know just enough to be dangerous. Question 1. Since the Braille Note Mpower supports both compact flash and secure digital cards, I would like to know if both card types are about equal in terms of performance and reliability; or, does one consistently have the edge? Question 2. The docs indicate that CF and SD cards due cause the BN to draw more current from the battery. Therefore, I would like to know whether this is true any time such a card is plugged in or whether it is true only if you are actually reading a file from an installed CF or SD card. Question 3. I do not mean to be unfairly critical of the docs; however, I would have found it really helpful if right at the start the docs had stated that one must select a drive by choosing C, S, F, M, or whatever letter is appropriate for the drive you want. I did find this in the manual although it did not seem as prominently displayed as I thought it should be. At any rate, the question is, are there tips and tricks which will get me acclamated more quickly to the Braille Note? I have been using computers since 1990, and in cases like this, it is at times a hindrance rather than a help. Perhaps this sounds ludicrous, and possibly I am just impatient to learn more quickly. Thanks much for any feedback. Don Roberts ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a copy to the list as well.
