Tomi:
The French thing has been there since the mPower was released.
For some reason, HW has not bothered to remove it, but it does
not hurt anything.
I have taken Spanish for four years and am starting my fifth next
Tuesday. For three and a half years I had the Spanish mod on my
BN. The synthesized Spanish speech takes a lot of getting used
to, and the computer Braille table is hard to figure out, but now
that I know it I use 8 dot Spanish computer Braille for
everything (it is easier than having some files in computer
Braille and others not). I should also mention that my default
file type is MS Word, so I can just write something or complete a
worksheet and email it to my teacher. (Always having Spanish
braille also lets me use accents and other special characters in
emails and file names, as long as I use the BACKSPACE+j command
to switch to computer Braille first). I do this in all my
subjects and recommend it over printing. Now, with my mPower, I
can also pass in work on a thumb drive which most computers can
read.
Anyway, I was going to say that the main advantage of the mod is
synthesized Spanish, so if you have a BN and not a VN, it may
prove to not be necessary. The mPowers come with the Spanish
computer Braille table already loaded, and you can change to this
by going to:
options > Braille display settings > computer braille table and
use SPACE with dots 3-4 until you see "Spanish computer braille
table".
Good luck in your classes,
Alex
P.S. Your English is great; I would not have known it was not
your native language, at least without being able to hear you
speak.

Subject: [Braillenote] re: message on the braillenote list
hi Malaina and list,
Well first I would like to thank everyone for the warm welcome.
I might be
switching to the digest form of the list since reading 45 message
every day
can be tedious. There're so many members! And I will have school
after
laborday, so I will not have much time for e-mailing. I'll of
course still
keep an eye on the messages, though.
As for Malaina
's Question, I want to learn Spanish as my third language. I
already know
Hungarian and am pritty good at English (I hope). I want to
translate
between hungarian, spanish, and english.
Speaking of languages, why does my braillenote m-power come with
the French
userguide? in my windows folder, there are files called
"frbnb.exe and
frcabnb.exe". Plus, in the windows folder, I have some french z5
games. Like
Filements. I can't switch to French though. My school has not
brought the
french multi... Though they need to buy Spanish since I'm taking
spanish
level 1 this year (I'm a freshmen).
Hope everyone has a nice day!
Regards:
Tomi
