I agree with that Lindsay, and I also support your suggestion.

Cheers!

>Subject: [Braillenote] Suggestion for the scientific calculator

>Hi Everybody,

>I am very excited to hear that Humanware has advanced the capabilities of the 
>BrailleNote's/VoiceNote's scientific calculator.  I have wanted to be able to 
>compute fractions for several years and soon wil be able to do this once I 
>receive my new mPower.  I would, however, like to suggest some improvements 
>which I believe would benefit some BrailleNote users concerning the scientific 
>calculator.  For one thing, I am taking a Statistics class in which the other 
>students rely heavily on their graphing calculators equipped with statistical 
>analysis packages.  This has posed a problem for me in that the options for 
>accessible statistical analysis software for the blind are limited.  Although 
>I understand that advanced mathematical technology is still in its early 
>developmental stages, a statistical analysis capability, as well as other 
>enhancements to the BrailleNote's scientific calculator could greatly improve 
>the lives of and increase possibilities for blind high school and college stu
dents who would like to take or who are currently enrolled in higher math 
classes, as well as for blind professionals working in the fields of science, 
matthematics, and engineering.  I mean, what could be a more optimal device in 
which to implement such programs than the BrailleNote, with its portability, 
high functionality, and high customer satisfaction? I know that this need for 
higher-level mathematical software does not apply to every BrailleNote user, 
however, its implementation would be absolutely wonderful news for me and many 
other blind people I know (many of them BrailleNote users) who have experienced 
frustrations trying to find high-quality technology to help us gain as much 
from our advanced math classes as our sighted peers.  Humanware has made some 
great advancements, and I believe that this new functionality could add to 
their already phenomenal record.
