Hi Everyone; I want to let you all know that my BT is my first note taker and the computer department and I worked very, very hard for my agency to get accepted in to the federal CAP program. They got me a BT and braille printer. We have problems with the braille embosser, but I am rejoiced to have my BT. So far I use the address book the most and keep records of all the nuts I sell for my NFB chapter. Talking about the Three wishes program on 11/04, I got 2 of my wishes. Even though I have plenty more to learn, I love my BT and I am sure I will love my m-power, too. We have to learn to be thankful for what we have and stop complaining and always wanting more and more and more. There are many out there who do not even have a slate or even a braille book to read. Think about it.

If we say one thing that doesn't work, it's taken as a complaint. I knew what you meant, and agree with you totally. Because we may ask a question about something that doesn't work doesn't make it a complaint. People are really getting too offensive. It will boil down to people being afraid to make any comment, for fear of repercussions. People are asking questions that aren't getting answered. For instance, Kathy Dauis asked about the cell phone issue. With her BN, she could use the cell phone; with the mPower, it isn't working. Is there a difference in what needs to be set up? Let's get back on track to helping people, rather than criticizing. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: kim <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [email protected] >Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2005 09:30:51 -0800 (PST) >Subject: [Braillenote] re: some observations >Hi everyone, >It seems as though the motivation for posting my >observations was badly misunderstood.
