Hello again all, This issue of file manager is probably what bothers me the most. It seems to me that this could have and should have been in the braillenote long ago and it certainly should have been part of the empower. The new file features are just common sense.

Well, the file manager descriptions on Jonathan's demo will be worth the upgrade. Just this morning I was using file manager to delete a few files when I found one I did not recognize, pressed enter and of course nothing happened. Annoying as then I needed to exit file manager and go to keyword to open the file to determine if I wanted to keep or delete it.

Hi folks, Denise, Paul, Rose and many many others have expressed frustration with various aspects of the BrailleNote. Truthfully, I think the Daisy player promised in 7.2 is a halfassed attempt. It's something I need, but it does me no good until it plays RFBD books so I'm not downloading until it works right. You do the same. Each of us have a feature they would like to see encorporated in to future upgrades. We can send a message to Humanware. I would suggest that each of us who has a feature they'd like to see, or a grievence with the BN and KS, to hold off on downloading what Humanware is offering this time around. If you don't like something about how keysoft behaves, or if there is a feature you've been waiting years to see, don't download your upgrade until you absolutely need it. I am certainly not advocating that you go without if your job or your school will suffer. So, if you NEED the upgrade, download it. Of course, we will all have to download it if we want futures, but we don't have to download it now. SPEAK TO HUMANWARE!

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. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Paul Henrichsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected] >Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2006 16:20:48 -0700 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] >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.
