Well said Cindy!  I'm certain everyone will come around to what is standard.

Jim,

You are right that RFB&D are the ones holding back.  I do not have
personal knowledge of their talks with HW but I have seen them always be
the last to jump on a new product.  Most daisy book players out there
today were released before being able to play RFB&D books because the
players were ready and had been ready and they decided to stop waiting.
While I like RFB&D, they do have many issues to conquer at the moment.

Cindy

Hello all,

I personally think the message should be sent to RFB and D not to
Humanware!
I think a standard will be set for these Daisy books whether RFB and D
goes
along with it or not.  I for one want the new file advantages that 7.2
offers and if I do indeed have another SMA, I'm going to use it!  I'd
rather
the M-power do a graceful job in handling these RFB and D files rather
than
do a lousy job of it.  For now, I'll enjoy what Daisy books I can play
till
RFB and D books can be played!  Sorry!  I can't get on that band wagon!

Jim Aldrich going back under the rock again!

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!

Rusty

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.
