Wow, thanks for the note about improved Scientific calculator functions and
the introduction of Daisy! I'll look forward to try these out. See, the BN
just gets better and better all the time by the sound of it, and that's
great. I have looked into two other Braille products, the PacMate BX series
and the Braille Sense, but they don't sound as good as the market leader! So
thanks for those cool tips, and I look forward to receiving more.

Welcome to the list.
I think you will be pleased with the BN for use at university. I use mine
to take all kinds of notes, though I am no longer a student. The next
version, 7.2, will have better scientific calculator and DAISY format
options, and these will be especially helpful to students because if the
file is created and designed properly, you will be able to navigate around
by different amounts and will be able to read with speech and follow along
with Braille. I can only imagine if people in my generation had been able
to use this technology! Even ten years ago, no, even five years ago,
being a student was very inconvenient for blind people, and we spent a lot
of time taking notes on taped books. You may not be able to avoid all
this, but the BN will certainly help.
Good luck.

Hello all, I am very new to this list.
I have subscribed to this list as I'm thinking of purchasing a BrailleNote
MPower for umiversity in September. I am going to study an HND in
computing information systems at the University of Central England in
Birmingham. I have been studying an AVCE in ICT at the Royal National
College for the Blind in Hereford for over 4 years, and have been using
desktop/laptop mainstream PC's. However, as I am moving onto higher
education, I will need something to write notes, for example lecture
notes. Would such device help me achieve this? And how can it help me in
my course that I am doing. I have seen and of course explored the original
Braille Note at my further education college, and I was very impressed
with it, and so therefore I am considering getting the latest Braille
Note.
Thank you in advance for any help, and please e-mail me, preferably
off-list, for any comments or feedback relating to this query.
I look forward to hearing from you all.
Best regards,
Christopher Hallsworth
