Yes, I have hundreds of books from web braille on my PC. But since I'm not at home, all I've got is my braille note, and it does get frustrating having it freeze after downloading two volumes. But hey, at least I'm able to get books. All the traveling I've been doing just increases my abilities on the BN, because I tackle something new every time. Last time it was email, this time web braille. Now, if only I could instant message, so I could keep in touch with my friends, and play a few computer games when I'm bored in my hotel! Grin.
