I'd like to add to your list, that the Bn's thumb-keys are much easier to use for reading the Braille display than the Pacmate's wheels etc.

Listed are the advantages I have seen with the BN: 1) If it crashes (even the battery going flat) it sill retains my data. 2) I like the BN keyboard. I find the PM has two many buttons on the braille keyboard. 3) I do not know about now, but about a year ago, the PM had some stability problems. The PM maybe having some problems now, but I think these will go away in a couple. 4) The BN is smaller then the PM. 5) The instant help feature of the BN sure is nice. When I looked at the PM, it has some help issues. It has become better, but still I do not like the help offerings on the PM. 6) I like the interface. It is smooth and very little fuss or muss. If one wants to get something done it come be done with in just a few keystrokes. The interface is simpler (I feel a blind approach to an interface is useful). 7) Now that I know that the BN can run Java Script files, I am looking forward to making programs for the BN. One of these days HW will give us a development tool so we cam make our own programs for the BN and plug them in. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
