Kizzy,
This is not off-topic at all.
Wireless is a standard that allows you to
browse the Internet without wires. It is
frequently used on the road. In order for
you to have wireless on your BrailleNote,
you'll need to have a WiFi (Wireless
Fidelity) card. BrailleNote mPower supports
a range of WiFi cards, including Ambicom
WL1100C-CF, Sandisk Connect plus 128 MB plus
WiFi combo card (really useful if you want to
have both WiFi and storage at the same time),
and others (which are not confirmed yet).
HTH,
Joseph PddS. If you have further questions,
feel free to write to the list.

"I Have a Dream"
I am happy to join with you today in what
will go down in history as
the greatest demonstration for freedom in the
history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in
whose symbolic shadow
we stand today, signed the Emancipation
Proclamation. This momentous
decree came as a great beacon light of hope
to millions of Negro slaves
who had been seared in the flames of
withering injustice. It came as a
joyous daybreak to end the long night of
their captivity.
But 100 years later, the Negro still is not
free. One hundred years
later, the life of the Negro is still sadly
crippled by the manacles of
segregation and the chains of discrimination.
One hundred years later, the
Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in
the midst of a vast ocean of
material prosperity. One hundred years
later, the Negro is still languished
in the corners of American society and finds
himself an exile in his own
land. And so we've come here today to
dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital
to cash a check. When
the architects of our republic wrote the
magnificent words of the
Constitution and the Declaration of
Independence, they were signing a
promissory note to which every American was
to fall heir. This note was a
promise that all men - yes, black men as well
as white men - would be
guaranteed the unalienable rights of life,
liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
It is obvious today that America has
defaulted on this promissory note
insofar as her citizens of color are
concerned. Instead of honoring this
sacred obligation, America has given the
Negro people a bad check, a
check that has come back marked "insufficient
funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of
justice is bankrupt. We
refuse to believe that there are insufficient
funds in the great vaults of
opportunity of this nation. And so we've
come to cash this check, a check
that will give us upon demand the riches of
freedom and security of justice.
We have also come to his hallowed spot to
remind America of the fierce
urgency of now. This is no time to engage in
the luxury of cooling off or to
take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.
Now is the time to make real the
promises of democracy. Now is the time to
rise from the dark and
desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit
path of racial justice. Now is
the
time to lift our nation from the quicksands
of racial injustice to the solid
rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make
justice a reality for all of
God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook
the urgency of the moment.
This sweltering summer of the Negro's
legitimate discontent will not pass
until there is an invigorating autumn of
freedom and equality. Nineteen
sixty-three is not an end but a beginning.
Those who hoped that the Negro
needed to blow off steam and will now be
content will have a rude
awakening if the nation returns to business
as usual. There will be neither
rest nor tranquility in America until the
Negro is granted his citizenship
rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will
continue to shake the foundations of
our nation until the bright day of justice
emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my
people who stand on the
warm threshold which leads into the palace of
justice. In the process of
gaining our rightful place we must not be
guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us
not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by
drinking from the cup of
bitterness and hatred. We must forever
conduct our struggle on the high
plane of dignity and discipline. We must not
allow our creative protest to
degenerate into physical violence. Again and
again we must rise to the
majestic heights of meeting physical force
with soul force. The marvelous
new militancy which has engulfed the Negro
community must not lead us to
a distrust of all white people, for many of
our white brothers, as evidenced
by their presence here today, have come to
realize that their destiny is
tied
up with our destiny. And they have come to
realize that their freedom is
inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot
walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that
we shall always
march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are
those who are asking the
devotees of civil rights, "When will you be
satisfied?" We can never be
satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim
of the unspeakable horrors of
police brutality. We can never be satisfied
as long as our bodies, heavy
with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain
lodging in the motels of the
highways
and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be
satisfied as long as the Negro's
basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a
larger one. We can never be
satisfied as long as our children are
stripped of their selfhood and robbed
of their dignity by signs stating "for whites
only." We cannot be satisfied
as
long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote
and a Negro in New York
believes he has nothing for which to vote.
No, no we are not satisfied and
we will not be satisfied until justice rolls
down like waters and
righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come
here out of great
trials and tribulations. Some of you have
come fresh from narrow jail cells.
Some of you have come from areas where your
quest for freedom left you
battered by storms of persecution and
staggered by the winds of police
brutality. You have been the veterans of
creative suffering. Continue to
work with the faith that unearned suffering
is redemptive.
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama,
go back to South
Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to
Louisiana, go back to the slums
and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing
that somehow this situation can
and will be changed.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
I say to you today my
friends - so even though we face the
difficulties of today and tomorrow, I
still have a dream. It is a dream deeply
rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will
rise up and live out the
true meaning of its creed: "We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that
all
men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills
of Georgia the sons of
former slaves and the sons of former slave
owners will be able to sit down
together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of
Mississippi, a state
sweltering with the heat of injustice,
sweltering with the heat of
oppression,
will be transformed into an oasis of freedom
and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children
will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of
their skin but by the content
of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama,
with its vicious racists,
with its governor having his lips dripping
with the words of interposition
and nullification - one day right there in
Alabama little black boys and
black girls will be able to join hands with
little white boys and white
girls as
sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley
shall be exalted, and every
hill and mountain shall be made low, the
rough places will be made plain,
and the crooked places will be made straight,
and the glory of the Lord
shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it
together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I
go back to the South with.
With this faith we will be able to hew out of
the mountain of despair a
stone of hope. With this faith we will be
able to transform the jangling
discords of our nation into a beautiful
symphony of brotherhood. With this
faith we will be able to work together, to
pray together, to struggle
together, to go to jail together, to stand up
for freedom together, knowing
that we will be free one day.
This will be the day, this will be the day
when all of God's children will
be able to sing with new meaning "My country
'tis of thee, sweet land of
liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my
father's died, land of the Pilgrim's
pride, from every mountainside, let freedom
ring!"
And if America is to be a great nation, this
must become true. And so
let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops
of New Hampshire. Let
freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New
York. Let freedom ring
from the heightening Alleghenies of
Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies
of Colorado. Let
freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of
California.
But not only that; let freedom ring from
Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of
Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill
of Mississippi - from
every mountainside.
Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and
when we allow
freedom ring - when we let it ring from every
village and every hamlet,
from every state and every city, we will be
able to speed up that day when
all of God's children - black men and white
men, Jews and Gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics - will be able to
join hands and sing in the words
of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last!
Free at last! Thank God Almighty,
we are free at last!"
