Re: [Braillenote] Jonathan Mosen Joins FS

[kathleen shelton]

Hi all! I am new to the braillenote list but not to the world of 
technology.  I have had my voicenote bt for one whole week and 
have been thrilled!  Its amazing how Jonnathan Mosen had become 
the voice of Humanware.  My husband and I have been talking a lot 
lately about the benefits of a system designed specifically for 
the blind.  For years it seems, we were supposed to want access 
to all that off the shelf software.  For me, now, I just want 
something that works! I'm tired of wandering around some 
unfamiliar screen trying to figure out whats important.  Two 
years ago I got my employer to purchase a pacmate and had to give 
it back.  At one point I was trying to listen to an "audible 
book" and the clock kept saying the time.  Noone could tell me 
how to stop this because they hadn't worked with that 
application.   There was no information in the manual about 
braille grades, or translating.  The reason I couldn't keep 
working with the pacmate was because I kept bonking the keys and 
jumping into other modes which I then had to back track out of.
Now that I have made my big decision to go with a closed system 
it  is shocking when a well respected  figure in the industry 
switches camps.  Perhaps Freedom Scientific has promised more 
"freedom"! Anyway, we will miss Jm and FS was smart to get him.
