Hi Pam, Very cool, indeed! I can utterly relate. For the last several months I have paid my rent using my mPower--or pre-mPower-BN--and it works excellently. I have done everything from recharging my online calling card pin, to buying flash cards, to supporting my coffee addictrion with a five-pound bag of coffee beans, all with the mPower. It handles websites so well now, it's amazing! I still haven't gotten over it. And since I'm here writing this message, I have to brag just a little, even though I could have done this under KS6.11. I had to leave work late because of an extremely late driver, so, since it's Friday night, I thought I'd celebrate getting off work with a little visit to a nice little bar downtown. After I got seated and served, I thought I'd scan for wireless networks, just out of curiosity. Much to my surprise, I not only found a wireless network, but found that it was fully available, with no security. I proceded to check my Email, download a book from Bookshare, and answer some mail, one of which is this very message. And all of it went so smoothly!
I know, none of this is earth-shaking news, but it's so, so cool! I'm sure this is someone's home network, and that they have no idea that there is some weird blind person sitting somewhere in a bar taking advantage of their service, but how cool is it? Very, in my not-so-humble opinion. Happy Friday, and have a fine and dandy weekend, Sarah > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Pam Quinn <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Bn List <[email protected] >Date: Fri, 02 Dec 2005 18:29:44 -0600 >Subject: [Braillenote] Made my first purchase with the MPower >Very cool.
