First of all, could someone please send me Jonathan's comments on this string privately. I am sorry that I did not see it due to an overload of E-mail this past weekend because of being away from it for a day.
Now, on to what Barb has stated in her post. I have said in the past that I think that the FM radio, something I have not used, the memo recording feature and the games are luxuries on the BN. Some of these could have been put on as add-ons which users could purchase. The TDD capability is important for deaf-blind users as well as blind users who must be able to access a TDD for whatever reason, usually work. As has been stated on this list, there is another company which has done work in this area and Humanware is behind on this one. With regard to the instructions, I never do an installation on my own. I have my husband help me with it since he is much better with technology than I am. While I only have a mild to moderate hearing loss and my husband has normal hearing, it still would be better for all who use a Braille display to know what they should be seeing on such display when they are doing an installation. In other words, that suggestion benefits more than just the deaf-blind community. Barb, your question regarding beta testers is a good one as far as I can tell. Keep in mind that I do not know a lot, if anything, about how beta testers are selected for anything. Peter, thank you for your support on these issues. It is nice to know that we have some support out there. Barb, while I have residual hearing, I do support those who do not . You spoke about the memo recording feature. I have tried to record with this and found the recording quallity is not good at all, especially considering that I have a hearing loss. This is a feature I most likely will not use and could do without. I would need to see Jonathan's post before commenting any further. Take care. Barb, if you would like to contact me privately, my E-mail address is in my signature line at the bottom of this message. Thanks you all for listening. **All outgoing messages scanned for viruses using Norton Antivirus 2006.
