Thanks so much for that message, Jim. It is really ridiculous for someone
to complain about needing a patch for bugs when they do not even own the
unit and do not have any clue what bugs they may or may not experience.
Personally, I have had absolutely no bugs with 7.2 at this point.
Admittedly, I have only had my BN for a year and there are still a lot of
things I need to learn to use to put some of the new features to use.
A lot of times prospective owners get a wrong impression by looking at a
listserv. This is a very high traffic list and people only post comments
when they have a problem (as defined by the fact that they either do not
know how to do something or there is actually a real problem with their
unit). You will not see a plethora of messages simply touting all the
things we love about our machines. I wish there was a way that we could
compile a list of our 100 favorite things about our BNs and have that sent
as the first message a new subscriber receives and it could explain that a
listserv will typically be about things people are having problems with
but
that they are encouraged to ask whatever questions they would like
answered
in their search for deciding which device to choose.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] 7.2 patch? When?
David and list,
Excuse me for saying so but how ridiculous a message like yours below is!
You don't have to wait for anything to enjoy all the great things the
M-power and other members of the braillenote family of products offers to
the user! I have more problems keeping my Outlook Express under control!
Quite often what I thought I wrote at the bottom of a post ends up at the
beginning of my post. I suddenly noticed that my messages were suddenly
sorting in alphabetical order rather than reading in random as they came
in. I almost had a fit over that! My wife found someone who told me how
to
fix the problem! The casual reader of posts to this list tends to think
everyone is having all these problems which are mentioned on this list!
This is far from the truth! If you are looking for a perfect problem free
computer product, you will be looking a long time, such does not exist
anywhere! I certainly acknowledge people have had problems with the
battery
charge, joy stick not functioning, and other little picky things which may
or may not be quite right! I think too some people are out there just
looking for problems where none may exist at all! I think everybody would
abandon the PC if all the uproar took place between outlook express, the
mouse and one's speech program as it often does about the BN family of
products we hear about on this list. If I were to define a problem, it
would be an occurrence which prevents me from operating my M-power or
accessing files and folders as I should be able to do normally! A lockup
is
a good example as such a problem! Losing one's files or not being able to
access them on a storage card is another big problem in my judgment.
Perhaps I might add anything which prevents me from accomplishing my work
efficiently! I'd say most anything else is simply an annoyance! Okay, I
plug in my M-power to charge the battery. The gage shows 97 percent after
two hours of charge! This happens often! What is the solution? Unplug
the
charger from the BN and plug it in again! Wait a few more minutes to an
hour and the gage says a hundred percent after I unplug my unit! This may
be annoying at times but it solves the problem! Big deal! One of the
three
resets usually solves a host of problems! I do agree if one does any of
these resets including the service reset and their unit doesn't function
properly if at all, then that person no doubt has a problem which needs
attention from Humanware Service. Connecting to a wireless network was
challenging for me at first, but once I figured out how to do so, I have
had
no trouble utilizing my wireless network here at home as well as a few
networks on the road. Perhaps if more of us could tell potential users of
the M-power what is right with it, I think people would see a much
different
picture of the BN. Believe me, there is a lot right with it! I do agree
it
is not without problems or should I say annoyances but then no computer I
have ever used doesn't have some kind of problem. Can't we lighten up a
bit
and help new users who truly don't know what to expect! Some answers are
indeed simple! Others are more complex I agree! I have used a BN product
since October of 2001. Some of what has been discussed occurred when the
BN
first came out or when I obtained one. In this time of six years, the BN
now the M-power has greatly improved its usability! It is a much more
functional machine now than it was when I first purchased one. I agree!
It
isn't perfect but it is truly a simple to use, functional, relatively
trouble free machine, at least, it has been for me! I think we could keep
the traffic to a minimum if we could determine what is truly problematic
rather than what isn't so troubling! I think I have had fewer problems
with
Keymail than I'm having with Outlook Express! When Outlook functions
properly, it is faster, but when things mess up, what a pain it can be! I
like Keymail for the most part!
I'll stay by my statement that there is more right with the BN than what
is
wrong with it whether one is using seven point two or not.

Subject: [Braillenote] 7.2 patch? When?
This especially goes to HW dchvs out there. When will there but a ks 7.2
patch? I am so close to getting an mpower, but I'm just wondering when a
patch for all these annoying bugs might be available.
Thanks
