Hi all, I have had so much fun teaching myself to use the BN email program. It's been great, and now I am trying to use the web browser. By the way, before I get into my web questions, how would I write an email address in the body of a message on the braille note? For example, I often type my email address below my name at the end of my messages, so that people who are still new to using screen readers and who may not know how to find the email headers, can see my email address if they want to reply personally. But of course, when writing in grade 2 braille on the BN, the symbols for computer signs will come out as gibberish when read back on a regular PC. Should I just write it in computer braille, using the U chord before the period and at sign?
Ok, now to the browser. I tried going to a favorite site of mine, audible.com. On my PC, there is a cookie, so audible recognizes me when I go to their site. This is good for me so I don't have to log in to browse or go through my wish list or buy books. So, I went to audible a couple times over the last few days with the BN. It goes there fine. But of course, I have to sign in to access my account stuff. I read the BN manual three times to be sure I'm doing everything right. i found the edit field for my username and password. I remembered the manual said press enter after typing text in an edit field, so i typed my username and pressed enter. The braille display said, please wait, 0 percent for about five minutes, and I gave up. When I tried again, i tried typing in the username and password before pressing enter. again it said please wait and 0 percent. I went away, fed my dog, let her outside to relieve, got some red wine ... you know, gave things time to happen. when I returned to the BN, it had the same message, please wait 0 percent. Ok, i'm sure I've missed something. i'm good with written instructions, but since the BN works quite differently than the PC, i've probably forgotten to do something. Any ideas what? i'm still on my trip, and i'd like to be able to use the BN for the web, so my friend can have lots of time to practice the things I'm teaching her on the PC. I will be ever so grateful for any ideas. Thanks! Sherry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
