Hi Kathleen; 
This is Terry Powers.  I sure agree with you!  I have epelepsi which takes a 
tole on my memory.  I find reading something and then being able to try it on 
the spot is helpful.  I think I will be more secure having both versions.  for 
this reason, I am having someone emboss it for me.  I want an alphabetical 
command list.  this way I can look in the braille copy and find things easier 
than in the chapter 17 we get in braille.  I never know where to look when I 
want a command.  this way, if I want delete I will go right to D.
CAP never fofilled my request for a braille manual when I got 5.0.  this time I 
am fofilling my wishes.
I just think I will learn better and there sure is a lot more to learn!
Terry Powers

Dear Jonathan,
Without meaning to be difficult, I find switching back and forth between tasks 
and the User Guide to be a  pain in the butt!
It would be more appropriate to offer consumers the choice of having the User 
Guide in braille. Yes, I know it would be bulky, but I'd gladly pay for it.  
Once I know  exactly what I'm doing, I would be able to get reminders from the 
"Help" menu.
It is only fair to point out that a good percentage of consumers who are blind, 
 grew up using tapes or readers for learning. Those of us who are deaf-blind 
don't have that option. (There are those for whom the Braillenote is their 
first exposure to an electronic Notetake/PDA.) I've completed two Masters 
programs, which should say something in my favor.
I rest my case and am sorry if you think I'm being a nuissance.
Respectfully yours,
KC Spear
