Lap tops can be unstable and crash more often. Also, they aren't as good at handling foreign languages as the BN and this is from a Spanish major. Also, I'm not trying to start a fight so don't take it for more than a suggestion. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Ellen Earls" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 2:33 AM Subject: [Braillenote] Suggestions for later upgrade:
Let me simply put my less than 2 cents worth in here before this list goes off on some sort of suggestion tangant that this, folks is a pda and nothing more. There are now little notebook computers about the size of a voicenote which do what Sarah has suggested, I am writing on such a machine and they are about 1 quarter the price of a Braille Note and you don't have to buy pocket pc or pocket anything. You simply put whatever program you want on the computer and fly. Let's simply take these machines for what they are and realize that no machine can do everything. I have the feeling that some of these machines are breaking down simply because we are asking too much of them. I think things will greatly improve with this next upgrade but simply remember that these machines were originally designed to be an adjunct to our computers and now with the advent of these sentrino laptops you can have your cake and eat it too.
