Jonathan, thanks for this wonderful news. :) Thanks to you, Dean, and all the rest of the PulseData staff who have worked so hard to make this a reality. I have just looked at (and saved on the PC) instructions for installing KeySoft 6.1 and it's easy, folks, as long as you pay attention to the warnings and follow instructions. I can't even screw this one up .. and I've managed to do that a lot lately with stuff ...
Anyhow, hope you're having a good stay here in the US in Orlando, Fla. Wish I could be there, but only because I want to warm up! We're having an ugly day here where I am. and I am sorry I jumped into the fray yesterday--well, all those email messages, without checking ahead and seeing what had ben worked out. :) Take care, Jane ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2005 7:36 AM Subject: [Braillenote] The Release of KeySoft 6.1 > Hello everyone.
