Hi Desiree, I do know how lost you must feel without your trusted BrailleNote.
I'll help you all I can though, probably, that isn't a lot. I would 1) Try to ensure that all files you need are backed up on to a CF card and at least available in your VoiceNote, if you can do this. (You may well need to refer to them with the VoiceNote if you have nothing else available.) 2) Can you print any of the files and perhaps get someone to help you with the lesson? 3) Explain the situation to Humanware and ask if this can be given attention as soon as possible. (I am sure they will do their best!) 4) Pray - and I will join you! -- Carol [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Desiree R Sturdevant Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 10:40 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: [Braillenote] What to do Hi all: Well this morning when I went to use my bn, the braille display completely locks up... so, looks like it will have to go into the shop. If I had the money, I'd just by a new m power now. My bn got a good five years of use out of it... grrr. My quandry is, what in the world will I do without the bn? Sadly, I have become very very dependant on it. I do everything, make shopping lists, use the planner, and the hardest thing is, I teach a Sunday school course. All of the materials are on line, and I load it into my bn and can read the lessons. But without braille, How am I going to teach my class? I have no way of embossing the braille onto paper, and the lessons are usually a good 20 pages or more long, and my braille writer is mostly shot, it's older than I am. So, what do you guys do when bn is unavailable? Even if I don't send it in, I have no braille, I have basically a voice note, and am not sure how to teach a large class with voice alone. Advice please!! I think I am so silly to let myself depend on something this much, but this product has been so valuable to most of us on this list, so I knew you guys, more than anyone else would understand. Thanks for listening.
