YES, HW, We need to hear from you as far as the future of the MPower as we know it is concerned. I Love my MPower and use it everyday, but want to know why I should keep investing money in it because I could just keep it as is probably for the next two years and then see what else is on the market at that point. ----- Original Message ----- From: Vicky Collins To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 7:16 AM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Keysoft 8.0, is it a good thing for all BN users?
Well, I had a SMA, so I did upgrade. But, I don't think I'm going to buy another SMA at this time, at least not until we hopefully have some idea of the possible future for the BN family of products. I know there needs to be some secrecy on the part of HW, but it would at least be good to know if future development on the BN line is ongoing or planned. I don't know if it is bad or good, but I'm thinking this has been the longest amount of time the BN has gone without some sort of hardware upgrade or modification. Its been about five years for the PK, and about four for the mPower. Also, I'm wondering what the problem is with the Word documents? For, using Office 2007 and opening documents in the compatibility mode and then saving them in Word 97-2003 format, I am able to open them fine on my Sense note taker, but not on the BN. Is this perhaps due to the difference in the Windows CE version the two units are using? More and more, I'm having to put documents on my Sense note taker and then save them in the DOC format so they will work on my BN, as I can't save them on my PC to work on the BN, not in DOC or in RTF. I thought I recalled, and just checked the list archives to confirm, that this release, meaning the one after the email SSL problem was dealt with, was originally slated to deal with the Word issues. But, I can only figure that something just didn't work out with that, whether due to the BN operating system or Microsoft or the BN hardware. Although, speaking of things that were changed from the original plan, it is indeed great that the HW folks were able to give the BN classic users the BookShare support. ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
