Hi Michael,
I live in the UK too, in Reading.
Good to see you posting.
It's really important you use your BN in the way you want to. It's a bit of
a learning curve to begin with, so don't necessarily start everything right
now. You may want to consider music, games and of course using the word
processor, oh and reading books!
I've heard a number of folk say that Gmail doesn't work directly from the BN
but think that one or two have not agreed there, so maybe others will chime
in.
You may also want to consider the GPS add on at some point. This is
expensive but version 4 looks pretty amazing.
Continue to write and ask away with any questions you have.
Regards:

Subject: [Braillenote] email and internet on the braillenote
I live in the UK and am thinking about connecting my Braillenote to
the Internet and using it for sending email as although I do a lot of
stuff with my BN ie my Spanish course, using Keyplan and taking notes
for meetings of a Blind group we have set up in my local area to try
and get better facilities for the Blind there I am wondering if I am
making the best use of the machine or whether I could be doing more
with the money I spent on purchasing it as they cost a few thousand
pounds in the UK.
I have my ISP with BT but I also have a GMail account for email and my
service has a wireless router although I as yet am not making any use
of my wireless connection what with me having problems with my laptop
which I unfortunately put out of action when I installed the testing
version of Ubuntu Linux on it so I am still not using wireless since I
got my wireless router from BT.
What tips could anyone suggest for me which would get me going with
both Internet and email on my Braillenote?
Would I need to change my ISP for example?
Could I use my Googlemail address with the BN?
Apart from a couple of demonstrations I have managed to work out some
features of the Braillenote by myself ie the Keyplan feature which is
just as well as it would have cost me another six hundred and odd
pounds on top of the four thousand and odd pounds I have already spent
on the unit itself.
You can answer my questions directly if you like if this question is
going to bug people who may have already given answers as regards
setting up wireless Internet and email.
