Hello All,
I wonder if the programmers for the braillenote monitor this
list. if humanware really plans to be driven by the market, it
will give customers what they desire such as a better e-mail
client, better support for recognizing html rtf and word
documents, support for audible books and overdrive media books
and so on.
all of these things have been mentioned on this list. all of
these things have been suggested at meetings during the various
conventions. If an fm radio can be provided I am sure that
better e-mail support can be provided. sometimes I do wonder how
new features are decided upon. of course its driven by the
available technology but what else?
The brailenote is a great product. It's much better than the
first units back in 2001, especially the empower. But frankly if
the pacmate can read daisi or audible books, I don't know why
brailenote users don't have these and other features.
to it's credit, I don't believe that humanware has ever said that
the braillenote will replace your computer. But I don't think
the things people have asked for necessarily means that one wants
the brailenote to replace their laptop or desktop. we shall all
see how much attention humanware pays to the market in the coming
months.

If you are an outlook user, set your messages to be grouped by
conversation
as well as to be filtered into various folders and see how your
email
reading process will speed up dramatically. Grouping mail, I can
get through
1000 messages in less than an hour notwithstanding replies.
Try the same number of messages on an Mpower or classic and tell
me how long
it takes you.

You all may have described how to sort messages on this list
multiple times.
The point is, I should not have to sit here and reconstruct those
search
terms every time I download e-mail.
Admittedly my experience with the PC is greater, since I use
Outlook at work
and at home and have been doing e-mail on the computer for over
15 years,
however, I don't have time most days to deal with repetitive
tasks that
could be automated.
We have been asking for filtering of messages since I joined the
list in
late 2000 even before I received my Braille Note.
I never used it for e-mail in the early days, not until I got a
wireless
card last year in fact, but until my computer crashed I never
used it to
receive all my messages for a day.
For me, and many others like me who have limited time to deal
with e-mail
but need info from several lists, the current e-mail client is
annoying.
I know I am not the only person who has strong feelings on this
issue. It
isn't as if I am the only person or customer who would benefit
from changes
in the e-mail client.

Hi KC and list,
I've really had no trouble with the mail, other than the
occasional loss. It
has been described many times on this list how to find and
separate
messages, so filtering is not a problem. In fact, because of
some mental
block I have going with Outlook Express, filtering is easier for
me on the
BN. And, you really can read HTML messages, although I would
have to agree
that you have to really want to! So, for me, it works
wonderfully!
Now the battery is entirely another issue! I have real problems
there, and
always have had, and when I get the time to turn around, I need
to put
myself on the list of people who need battery help! In the mean
time, I do
what Rhonda does! It's plugged in most of the time, and there's
not a
problem. I'll be glad to have it fixed, but it's something I've
learned to
live with. Enjoy that great battery of yours!
Rachael

Rachael and List,
I have to agree about the reliability of the M-Power. I often
use mine for
up to 14 hours in a day. I've used it while on a 16-hour trip,
from door
to door. The battery went low, but, thank the good Lord, came
right back up
when I plugged it in to an outlet.
My friends bought a new, rather expensive, car and have had it
in the shop
3 times since purchase, which was in March. Someone from Church
bought the
same make/model car in February, and has had no problem. My
point, you can
have a unit of a product give you trouble. It doesn't mean the
entire
product line is unreliable.
