Thank you for forwarding this, Joseph! When I tried to send it to
this list, I got an email back from Mailman saying the message
was being held until the moderator could approve it because it
had too many recipients. So I called HW and they said they would
take care of it. Thanks for forwarding it though; wasn't sure if
HW would actually post it. Also, some parents of blind children
(the kids having BN's) might be joining us, as I forwarded the
message to the Maryland Organization of Parents of Blind Children
(which is a division of the National Federation of the Blind of
Maryland) list serve, so some of their people might join us.

Hi,
Below is a message from one of the listers regardthe the next
user chat scheduled for Saturday, April 14, 2012. In addition to

Message from Chris:
Hi everyone,
A few times every year, a group of users of the BrailleNote
family of notetakers get together to talk about topics related to
the BrailleNote. We discuss topics discussed on the BrailleNote
list serve, suggestions for future KeySoft upgrades, the status
of the BrailleNote in comparison to its competition, including
other notetakers and accessible mainstream technology, issues
users are having with their BrailleNotes, etc. For a long time,
only users who had a PC, a sound card, and a microphone could
participate in our chats. However, the Web site development team
for the BrailleNote Users Web site has found a way to solve this
problem. Now, starting with the 10th BrailleNote chat, which
will be held on April 14, BrailleNote users who don't have a PC
can participate in the chats using their phones! We will be using
the Conversation Station phone chat line for this purpose. The
10th BrailleNote Chat will be held tomorrow, April 14. Here are
the times for each session.
First Session, using Conversation Station phone chat line: 2 PM
Eastern, 1 PM Central, 12 PM Mountain, 11 PM Pacific
Second Session, using the Blind Cool Tech chat room at
wwwddblcooltech.com for the PC: 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central, 6
PM Mountain, 5 PM Pacific.
If you would like to join us for the Conversation Station
session
of the chat, these are the instructions to get into our chat
room:
1. Shortly before the meeting is scheduled to start, call
616-883-2999.
2. You will hear music indicating that you have called into the
Conversation Station. Press pound to jump to the main menu.
3. From the main menu, press 1 for live chat rooms.
4. When prompted for the room code, type in 284 and press pound.
5. You will hear a welcome greeting from me about the
BrailleNote chat room. After this greeting, you are asked to say
your name after the beep. Say your name after the beep and press
pound. You are now in the room.
Notes:
1. To mute and unmute your phone at any time during the chat,
press star 1.
2. To exit the room at the end of the call, press 0.
3. Be aware that this call will be recorded for posting on the
BrailleNote Users Web site and on the Conversation Station's
recorded calls listing.
We look forward to hearing from as many BrailleNote users as
possible during this BrailleNote chat! All users are welcome,
regardless of your experience with the BrailleNote! Anyone
interested in the BrailleNote who is not a user is also welcome!
I hope to see you there!
Thanks,
Chris Nusbaum
