Folks, There's nothing wrong in calling a spade when you see one. Jonathan is a smart and capable man. He is shrude. Jonathan knows a good thing when he sees one. When I say Jonathan did this for the money, it isn't wrong or bad. Jonathan was very good at demonstrating what is good about the Braillenote. He will be very good at demonstrating what is good about the PM.
This is a very small example of the effectiveness of ethos in an argument. People trust Jonathan. He's a great salesman! He is good at pointing out positives. Jonathan's leaving does not make the BN any less useful to me. I just hope that conditions will be created to make the BN more useful than it already is.

I have had the pleasure of talking to Jonathan several times and will resist saying anything negative even though I'm dismayed. I guess the next step will be for him to work for that company that competes with fs.At 02:47 PM 8/31/2006, you wrote: >Everyone I talk with feels the pack mate is a poorly produced product. >I was surprised to see how Jonathan did a two part review of the early >packmate and then jumped to the braille note.
