The clipboard in the bn family of products and the old Braille Lites for that matter, is a darned sight better than the one Microsoft has for Windows. At least FS has a way you can add things to the clipboard in Jaws 7 which is somewhere in this living room.

Subject: [Braillenote] Amending yesterday's observations


Hello all,

I need to amend a few of my observations concerning my educational afternoon with blackmask.com. I thought originally that I had to "click on a link" to bring up a given chapter of a book on that site. I discovered this morning I didn't have to do so. I just "click" on the read in HTML link and the book is right there. No wonder the unit was locking up when I tried to click on a specific chapter (grin smile)! I downloaded two larger files which Bob Mates recommended I try to download since he was having problems with those particular files. The M-power handled the job beautifully! I may become further acquainted with the site in the future. I thought maybe I should download the zipped file on my PC and deal with it accordingly but I was able to have the book in a readable form more quickly when I simply used my M-power by itself, didn't need to use the PC at all.

Sarah, thanks for telling me where the clipboard is. It will shrink from when a book is pasted in it should one type a short sentence and copy to clipboard. When I checked the clipboard this morning, my short sentence was there but the book was nowhere to be found. The BN family of products sure has a nifty clipboard system in it especially with the M-power. It is nice though to actually go into it and delete anything out if one wishes to do so.

Thanks for being patient with my ignorance.

Jim Aldrich
