Reading Joseph's fine list of bugs reminded me of one of my favorite long-standing ones. For me, this one has been present since I bought my Apex BT a year ago, and I can't believe I haven't mentioned it before. I wonder if others have noticed it. It may not always happen, but it often does.
1. Plug your Apex into a wall outlet overnight to give it a full charge. 2. Pull the power from the Apex and wait a while for it to finish its display about the AC adapter not being connected. Note that I typically have speech turned off, so I just get the braille display. 3. Turn on your Apex. Try hitting w to bring up the word processor or b to bring up the book reader. Nothing happens. Actually, what often happens for me is that I turn on the Apex and quickly type space with o, c, w. This is supposed to get me to where I can turn wireless on or off, but I get the stopwatch instead. I have discovered that if I now turn the Apex off and then turn it on again while holding down dot 8, the keyboard behavior returns to normal 100% of the time. Have others noted this, and is it one of those annoyances that would be really nice to have fixed?
