Thanks, Jonathan. That's the answer to my question. I think some of us
were a bit concerned because, when the BrailleNote PK was mentioned on the
GPS list, an engineer basically said, "We've never heard of that; what's
that?" Then when some of asked about the regular BN working with GPS, we
were told to ask Sendero. So we were concerned that perhaps the two
companies weren't taking each others' products into consideration as they
worked on their own products, thuse leaving those who use both unsure
whether the programs they spent their hard-earned money on would continue
to work as before, and even better than before. Now that we have this
answer from you, as well as Mike's comments on the GPS list, I think we can
relax a bit, knowing we're not forgotten. <smile>

Hi Ann, it seems to me that people are getting very confused, so let me
have another go. There are two separate issues and for the sake of
clarity, we need to keep them separate. One is, will BrailleNote GPS work
on BrailleNote PK. the other is, will BrailleNote GPS work with KeySoft
6.1. I'll answer them separately.
Will BrailleNote GPS work with BrailleNote PK? We certainly expect so, if
not at release time, then not long after. We're committed to supporting
Sendero with this, I have been in touch with Sendero's CEO and we're
continuing to work constructively to this end. To illustrate how serious
we are about this, Sendero is getting one of the few BrailleNote PKs that
currently exist so they can work on this. This is no different in any way
from what sometimes happens when, say, a new version of Windows comes out.
It may take a while for vendors to catch up, but generally not very long,
especially when they can get their hands on the new stuff before the end
user does.
Will BrailleNote GPS work with KeySoft 6.1? Yes. Because the hardware
platform is the same, there should be no problem here at all.
