Hi Andy, I wouldn't take it too personally if I were you. I got a similar reaction once when I innocently asked a person why they didn't use the BN for Email, and if assistance was needed. I got a very long and complicated story about family and financial issues that I won't repeat here, but suffice it to say that it wasn't BN related.

I really am not familiar with your household finances. I was only trying to help. I'll hold my tongue next time.

I shouldn't save my credit card information anywhere where I could use it anyway--after all I shouldn't really spend any more. LOL I'm already frustrated because my version of Microsoft Office is too old to allow syncing with my braille note, and to upgrade that cost a lot, especially to a person like my husband who uses Linux and never spends a dime to get the latest software, and to me because I don't exactly make a lot of money. I just have to be content with being thrilled that browsing with my BN works great and files open as fast as I could wish. Most of my other ddreams of what would now be possible have been, if not crushed, at least slightly damaged. Maybe I'll feel rich some other month. :-) Sarah Van Oosterwijck Assistive Technology Trainer http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Aldrich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006 10:42 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] keylist database creation > If you have an M-power, keep watch for 7.0 upgrade which will have Key > Base which should be much easier to create databases of many varying > types.
