I wasn't really in favor of removing the parallel port in the first place. Granted, the USB ports are great, I really like the fact that I can use my USB drive, but I think something else should have been removed rather than the parallel port to make room for the USB ports. I would have probably removed the built in modem or the cf slot in the back, especially since you can use cf cards with a pc card adapter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terri Pannett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "BrailleNote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 11:22 AM Subject: [Braillenote] I can't emboss with my Mpower
