Alex; How about parts from some of the newer models that have gone for transplant, from HW. You might find some inturnal parts that would be helpful. Terry Powers
-----Original Message----- From: Alex Parks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 4:24 PM To: BN Mailing List Subject: [Braillenote] sorry... To all of the List: Sorry for writing the email about shrinking a BrailleNote. It was just a question that carried too far, and I sincerely apologize if I offended anyone. My point was not to say that the existing BN's are bad; on the contrary, I love my MPower and think it is the best device I have ever used, even preferable to my PC with Jaws. I understand that people still use the built-in modem, but cards are available for that just as they are for wireless, and no one complains about there being no built-in wireless. I was just taking out anything that is replaceable and takes up a lot of room. As far as one-handed operation, the standard one-handed mode is a great idea and there is no reason why a smaller unit, whose keys would be about 1/2 or 3/4 inches wide and spaced about 1/2 inches, or a bit less, apart, could not use it. Again, I am sorry if I rubbed anyone the wrong way. As far as "putting my money where my mouth is", I am looking online for sites from which I can buy raw parts--processor, keys, motherboard, USB/CF/SD readers for integration, WIFI/bluetooth chips... Not much luck so far, but I'm trying. Have a great day all, Alex ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
