I don't know what anyone else thinks, but we have gone far afield
from the BrailleNote list. The only way PC's really apply here
is if we're talking about Syncing and such.

So Paul,
Are you saying that you do not use a PC at all?

The other thing to be considered here is that many people are
just not
comfortable using a PC; so a Braille note or voice note is a
better
choice for that individual.
Also, as was stated in another message, a PC doesn't necessarily
come
with a Braille display unless purchased separately.
I bought my BN strictly because of its Braille display.
If I hadn't been interested in the Braille output, I would have
purchased a laptop.
But I wanted the ability to perform tasks without speech or ear
buds
while listening with the other ear.
Since I comprehend better by reading I also choose Braille.
For me, I wanted Braille.

Hi Bob,
I just wanted to add something to your comments. It's all well
and good
for people to say things would work better if done on a PC, but
that
simply doesn't help those who, for whatever reason, don't have
one.
Most people on this list already have a BN, so to say that a PC
would
have been the better choice is just not realistic. To tell a
person
they should have striven to get a PC instead of their hard-earned
BN or
VN is, in my not-so-humble opinion, a bit of a slap in the face.
Besides, PC's don't come with Braille displays, and BN's do.
This is
probably the number one reason why most of us have a BN, along
with the
intuitive interface and the portability.
Just some more thoughts from under the rock of the peanut
gallery, I'll
go away now!

Hi, folks: I've read some recent comments on this list, which
seem to
imply that anyone who strictly use a BN, and not a PC, is
foolish.
Well, I don't mean to be rude, but I think those comments are
insensitive and elitist.
I'm sorry, but not everyone, for various reasons, has a lot of
adaptive
equipment.
We usually get one or two shots at the brass ring in a lifetime.
Many of us have chosen the BN, because of its portability, and
because
of its functionality. To us, it's more than just aa neat little
tool;
it's everything. People who seem to say that we're wrong to
expect a
lot out of it are wrong and mis-informed. The fact is, we know
exactly
what to expect, and Humanware agrees with our high expectations.
That's
why they came out with the M-power. Those of you who have a
number of
pieces of equipment should thank God you have them, and not look
down
your noses at those of us who don't. By the way, this absolutely
does
not apply to most on this list; just a couple. Comments like the
ones I
read earlier make me want to unsubscribe. But, I won't.
We're all in the same boat on this list, and we shouldn't even
imply
that folks who don't have as much equipment are somehow inferior.
If
I'm over-reacting, I'm sorry. God bless. Bob and Maxy-wax
