Hi,
I'm just passing this along for you to research as I know
absolutely nothing about it. I have heard that NFB offers some
kind of low interest technology loan program for their members.
I am not an NFB member so don't know and haven't checked into it.
Maybe this could be helpful to some of the list members though.
Sorry to be so vague.

Subject: [Braillenote] questions and thoughts
I have several questions and thoughts today, and maybe I should
place them in separate emails; but, here it goes anyway.
Q: Is there a way to password protect a file?
Q: Is there a way to move an attachment from email directly to a
keyword file whithout having to copy and paste it?
Q: Is there a way to copy entire folder to say a flashcard
without having to do each file individually?
T: It would seem to me that if Humanware wants to stop offering
upgrades to the BrailleNote classic, they would also offer a way
to help those of us who might want to do the transplant, a way to
finance the move. I do understand the reasoning for no longer
doing upgrades, and someday the Empower will go the same way.
However, the attitude that the rehab agencies and thus the
government, thus you and I with our taxes will pay for it is
rather cold. They admit that the price for assistive tech is
high. My wife and I would consider seriously, the idea of
financing this move. However, most banks do not offer such
programs. They really do not like lending money on these types
of items. And who can really blame them?
T: It seems to me that a nice program for the Empower or PK, or
Note Classic would be a barcode scanning program. Maybe this is
technically above what I understand, but it seems to me, that if
a gps program can be adapted to work on the Note platforms, then
the scanning program for barcodes could be as well. The main
rival for the Note has the capability to do this, and I must
admit, it makes it tempting. And there was a recent offer to
make this a very real possibility.
