I switched recently from a Braillenote to a Pac Mate. The reasons for my decision are not important here. I converted about 163 files from keyword to text using the wildcard * in file manager. Because I have lost data permanently on three separate occasions, (three times my Braillenote crashed and required repair) I never stored any data on my flash disk. Therefore, I converted all of my files to .txt and deleted the keyword versions of those files. Again, it was easy since I knew I could not rely on the Braillenote flash disk. Bitter experiences make one careful.

However, in my three jobs, I need a portable notetaker while mine is away. I am usually able to borrow a BrailleNote from a company through which I do some contracting, but their machine is out on loan. They will loan a Pac Mate to me, but I am wondering if the Pac Mate will read KeyWord documents, or whether I will have to transfer all necessary files to Microsoft Word or to text. Any progress on the loaner program through PDI that was discussed a few months ago?
