Lindsay, That was wonderfully expressed! I always have suggestions for improving just about everything I use, but that does not at all mean that I don't appreciate those things already, and I am often even very impressed with things as they are. The BrailleNote is definitely one of those things I value very much, and that means I also value the effort and ideas of those people who created it. I hope not making everyone happy all of the time does not get too discouraging, because it happens to everyone. :-)
I only wish I had gotten my Braillenote before my last semester of college, because so many things would have been easier with a Braille Note. Honestly, I had a Braille 'n Speak for most of my schooling and loved it and called it my second brain, but when I got my Braille Note I loved that even more. I only missed the calculator functions of my braille 'n speak, because it was more advanced. I did love being able to see what I was calculating on the display, though. Now with my MPower I can do so much more, and it is fast enough to make me happy as well. I don't know how I would live without it. The time it was gone for a repair of a dot on the display, and the time it was in for transplanting were really hard on me. for once in my life I was even a little happy that I was pretty sick during the transplant operation, so I wasn't doing as much as I usually would with my BrailleNote. Can you believe that I just implied that there is sometimes something good about morning sickness? :-) Sarah Van Oosterwijck Assistive Technology Trainer http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity ----- Original Message ----- From: Lindsay Yazzolino To: Braillenote List Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 12:06 AM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Your Efforts are apprecaited Dean, I would like to echo my appreciation as well. Humanware has to be one of the best blindness technology companies I have ever encountered. You guys have greatly contributed to the advancement of technology for the blind and genuinely care about expanding the possibilities for the blind which is shown by your excellent track record of taking our feedback seriously and implementing our suggested improvements in upgrades. As a high school student, I don't know how I would manage to efficiently complete my schoolwork (and succeed in my advanced placement classes) if it weren't for my BrailleNote, which has proved invaluable! I feel like we are often quick to voice problems we encounter with our BrailleNotes/VoiceNotes and suggest how they may be improved, which I believe is absolutely necessary because customer feedback is essential to the success of these products, however, many of us don't often give you the applause which we know you deserve but just don't always take time to express. So congratulations, Humanware, on a job well done, and keep up the good work!
