But my primary computer is a PC, not the BN. Last year I was staying with friends. I have a wireless keyboard, and they tried to go wireless on their computer. Their wireless and my wireless clashed horribly to the point that my keyboard and their internet access didn't work well. also, since my primary computer is the PC, to do things away from the computer room would also involve wireless speakers or headphones. i also use a dec talk synthesizer so wireless speakers wouldn't do me any good. For now, I'm content with my plain old wired system. Eventually, I'd like to get a card to allow me to do high speed internet with the BN. Most hotels offer high speed access now and it would be very convenient when traveling. But that's not in the cards right now for me. i do truly love the BN, but it won't ever replace the PC for me at home because of all the things I use the PC for. I love it for how i do use it though! i never go anywhere without it, not even the store.

You can send and receive Email from anywhere in your house. You might be able to do so from your back yard if you have a back yard. One is no longer tied to cabling. I too would say that Email functions much better with the 6.1.1 upgrade and they say even better with the M-power. Of course, one can surf the web in like manner without being tied to cables. One other thing which is exciting to me is being able to send files from my PC to the BN or the BN to the PC using the wireless network. No need for disk drives or floppy disks. I'll still use the compact flash cards though. I have a file which has a newsletter on it. I was able to copy that file from my PC to the BN. The file was in the attachments folder of my Email program. I was able to go to the PC attachments folder and copy the newsletter file to a folder in my BN. I'm now editing this file so I can emboss it properly into hard copy braille. Once I complete the editing process, I'll attach the BN to my Juliet Embosser and emboss five braille copies of the newsletter. Six one one is truly exciting but I'd try hard to get the m Power. I'm hoping I can listen to audio of some sort in my back yard. I'm looking forward to more memory to work with as well as a faster processor.
