Isaac; I agree with you. It is better to wait a while, when a new product comes out, and see how well it is liked. Also you can watch for bugs in the new product. When I started with this computer, years ago, I was given a Braille Mate. I tried to learn it and errors were found in the manual. I think they were just trying to get rid of them. Nobody I new had one. I love my Braille Note. It is logical to understand. Terry Powers

I learned a long time ago when I had a bulletin board that it doesn't pay to rush things. there was an upgrade for pkzip. Version 2.00. Everyone rushed out to grab it. I waited. It started crashing all over the place. People were losing files and data. i was sitting calmly waiting. then about a month later they came out with version 2.10 and things got back to normal. I continued to wait until a month later. when I didn't hear any more stories about crashes etc etc, then and only then did I upgrade. I don't consider upgrades to be emergencies either. they change a lot and I may not like what they change.

It has been pointed out to me that, since the upgrades are already being shipped, that we should all have them last month. I agree, Humanware seems to have come up with a very odd shipping method. However, since I don't work there and don't know all the details, I can only assume that Humanware is doing the best they can! Believe me folks, they don't want to hear all of us going on and on about how we want that upgrade yesterday, I don't envy any of the Humanware staff who are on this list. They certainly have a thankless job. Yes, it would be nice if we could download the upgrade, but we can't! That's just the way it is. I've never heard of Microsoft allowing anyone, using any type of Windows, to download a whole new operating system. Why should they make an exception for us? > Josh, I don't know what else to say. Fleas? That seems a bit harsh to me. I hope you get your upgrade soon, I hope everyone on the list does. I truly wish Jonathan would have been more forthcoming with the reasons for this particular shipping method. It would have helped settle everyone down if we could know why we have to wait. > -----Original Message----- > From: Josh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: braillenote > > but if they said it's ready for shipment, then obviously all the bugs have > been worked out of it. unless they're filling the boxes with fleas. > > Josh > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lisa Kozlik > Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 3:36 PM > To: Braillenote List > Subject: Re: [Braillenote] 6.1 > > > Sarah, > > Finally!
