Hi Kim; Just remember, no matter how dumb or smart your question is, there is someone new on the e-mail you are helping too. It took me a while to open up to this group, but now, if I don't understand it, I ask my BN friends. Welcome to the group!

Oh not at all! This list is incredibly friendly. I recently purchased a Nokia 6620 cell phone and Talks software. I'm on the talks e-mail support list, and the moderator of that group eluded to the fact that my elementary-level questions regarding the Talks program were unwelcome. After that, I was afraid to post much of anything. Now I just lurk on that list and e-mail people privately if I have questions about a topic they've brought up.

That is what this list is for. however, I do not think the help should be given to only you through private correspondance. Many of us would like to know the answers to the questions you are asking. Let's keep the Q and A sessions on the list. I hope you don't mind. Dick Myers From: "Kimberly A. Morrow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Braillenote List <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: [Braillenote] new braillenote user looking for a few good "mentors" Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2005 07:56:00 -0600 Greetings, I just purchased a BrailleNote and, with no training readily available to me, am attempting to teach myself to use the unit via the PulseData tech support line and the manuals that accompany the unit. I'm thrilled with the machine, but also realize what a steep learning curve I'm experiencing. When it comes to computers, I'm not always the sharpest tack in the box unless someone specifically explains various concepts to me. (Then I have absolutely no difficulty catching on). Rather than disturbing all of you proficient users with my beginner's prattle, I'm wondering if a few people might be willing to step forward and e-mail me privately--a few good people willing to serve as braillenote "mentors" during this next month until I get myself truly up and running. All I can promise in return is that I'll gladly return the favor once I'm proficient in using the BrailleNote. My initial questions are these (which all of you proficient BrailleNote users are going to find are really "scary"!!!: 1. I can find absolutely nothing in the BN manuals or help menus about how to delete a document. I find "delete word", "delete sentence"--but nothing about deleting the entire document. I assumed it would be listed in the same menu as "open a document", but it doesn't appear to be there. 2. With the assistance of tech support, I figured out how to insert the WiFi card (now--setting WiFi up so that I can use it at my local Borders is a different story.) However, the tech couldn't get through to me how to insert the compact flash card. I know it goes into the back slot, where the WiFi card can also be inserted, but beyond that. . . 3. How does one install upgrades? I'm not all that great at cabling to other computers, Etc., so I'm hoping it can all be done with the stand-alone unit. (I'm absolutely getting the disk drive as soon as the bugs are fixed.) This is just the beginning of the many questions I can't find answers to in the manuals. If anyone is willing to assist me, my e-mail address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Many thanks in advance.
