Hello Dave and all
Well, I can understand how some might be deeply offended by the posting of
the FS trade-in offer, but I view it as information. People can do with it
what they want. We can't live our lives with our heads in the sand and
pretend other products aren't out there. This is no different than any
consumer trade-in product offer, whether it be trade in your car or
whatever. We all need to know the picture of the entire marketplace, and if
this is what one company is offering, then we as informed consumers need to
know about it. Yes, there will be people who take advantage of the offer
for whatever reasons, but that is their personal choice and not necessarily
a reflection of one product being better or worse than the other. It's just
what people as individuals are looking for.
And it will still cost a fair chunk of change to make the switch, so it's no
give-away either.
Jean

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!

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.
