Hello Kim and list: <sigh> >sigh> <deep sigh> Kim, have you guys any idea what it's like for me to search a website? Let me tell you. No, I don't use the braillenote to do this. I refuse to attempt to search a website with eight keys! It's like trying to move using a volkswagen instead of a U-haul truck! when I search a website, I have to use a cumbersome braille display which freezes up on many pages. I've found that having to negotate the almost identical looking pages three or four times to get to what I need is very daunting. I have to read each page to find the identical link to click on each page en route to my information. this takes time and energy. It's very tiresome. i am not complaining, I am trying to explain. I'll do it, but I want to choose when I am in the mood to do this. I plan to setup a windows only account soon just to improve my windows skills. Now I am using a shell account and the two just don't mix. the computer tends to freeze when I try to telnet to my shell account. I hope this gives some idea of what I have to do as a strictly braille user using the computer. I know I might be able to do some of this easier with the braillenote, but then I'd have to learn a lot more about the commands. but I feel we have enough frustrations in life, so why try to use a tool for something it's not really designed for? It's like trying to demolish a house with a hammer and a browbar! I simply won't do it. It'll take too long and require too much effort. thanks. Isaac
