I believe you use the little cursor buttons to advance like the thumb keys
when reading a document. And if you are referring to me as the individual
that will hopefully be buying the unit, I had been thinking about it for a
while before this happened, and this was just the perfect opportunity.

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.
Cheers!
Michele

If one wants to get a notetaker sized laptop, have at it. 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.
