It almost sent me into a panic because it is about time for me to charge the unit. I have no idea how long it has on so while waiting for an answer, which was not long, I put the ac adapter on for safety. My address book seams fine and that is the most important thing I have yet. Bye for now. Terry

But in your case it must have. Was it in its case? Somehow the power switch must have got bumped.

I had a sighted person look at my flash card and case. Yes, the Braille label is incorrect. Guess what? So is the print label on the card! They match, both saying 6.1. So, Ann, you can lay your fears of a Communist Humanware to rest. They played no dirty trick on us poor down-trodden blind folks, at least the sighted got the same dirty trick played on them. Once again, a mountain was made out of a mole hill, albeit a very unfortunate and preventable mole hill. Folks, I hope this whole thing serves as a strong reminder to all of us to check out everything and be certain of *ALL* the facts before flaming people and jumping to conclusions. May all of us have a Happy Wednesday! Sarah -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ann K.

There was, in fact, a large misunderstanding, which I hope will be cleared up soon. I'm sure that Humanware staff did not intentionally violate Lisa E.'s rights, Sarah, but she does have the right to expect that Braille labels on her materials be accurate because this is the *only* medium which she can read. She *does* have the right to expect that her medium of choice be as accurate as the print! That, I feel is her right, yes indeed. Lisa E. and the rest of us have the right to accurate, timely, information including proper signage on card cases! Again, if this had been an error in print, you'd be hearing about it all over the net! When are we going to stand up and demand that we get the same treatment as the dominant culture!? Yes, I'm sure it's a misunderstanding, and yes, I'm sure that it wasn't deliberate. But unless we force vendors of specialized equipment, agencies for the blind and our own consumer organizations to stop giving us badly formatted braille, inaccurate braille, braille that doesn't follow the print exactly, braille that is non-existant unless asked for, and so on, we're going to remain as down trodden as we still are! Disinformation is what kept Russia in Communism for over fifty years! Ann P. P.S., Lisa E. doesn't have a PC on which she can place a card in a card reader. Therefore, she had no way to check her information, guys! A.P. -- Ann K. Parsons email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WEB SITE: http://home.eznet.net/~akp "All that is gold does not glitter.
