I like the idea, but would support for Windows things like the
features of IE6.x or MS Word support still exist? The Elpa (I
think) runs off this but, as mentioned in another post, is big,
heavy, and not very powerful. Couple Linux with the hardware
already in the mPower or PK, though, and there seems to be a
potential for a very nice machine. My main concern is that the KS
interface not be changed AT ALL; menus, using first-letter
navigation, and all that must remain, in my opinion anyway. All
in all a good idea, if HW wants to go for it (or if they can
legally--contracts with Microsoft?)
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] Using Linux
I was curious about anyone's thoughts on dumping Windows CE and
running KeySoft off of a specialty form of Linux? (this way,
anyone can program for the BrailleNote, and the limitations of
Windows CE would no longer exist). Plus, being that Linux is more
stable, there would be no more system crashes, if any have
occured before. Any thoughts on this? Incidentally two things you
should know if you don't already know about Linux: 1. It's FREE!
(hopefully this may drive down the purchase cost of future
braille notes) and 2. It's rock solid, no viruses, and it's
completely 100% open source so, again, anyone can program for it.
