Well let me first say that I hope somewhere along the line Humanware will
start addressing the issue of these machines loosing huge amounts of
material. I am even talking about material which has specifically been saved
and the machine just kicks it out. The strange thing is that the document is
still there but absolutely no text is there. It is like someone went in went
to the top of the document and on a bt pressed space d and space dots 1 4
and the whole document disappeared To me that is more important than
anything because I lost 28 pages today never to recover them again. I even
tried the save and recover feature to no avail.
This has been a problem with the Braille Note since I have had one in 2002.
And I am extremely surprised this has not come up more often but it has not.
Secondly as far as batteries are concerned, if some of you will remember Fs
came out in about 2003 or very early 2004 with a pacmate Braille & Speak
which had a user replacible battery. Ok they went back and did a total
makeover of the machine which came out in the fall of 2004 and guess what?
The battery was not user replacible. Why? Because there had been numerous
problems with the earlier model of the pacmate Bns because of that user
replacible batteries.
I have no doubt technology has come a long way since then and I too would
love to change my battery out but we have to realize hw can only pack so
much in an upgrade at any given time and they have only so many people in
development.
In a perfect world there would be that one perfect machine with everything
for everyone but alas, this is 2007 the world is not a perfect world and now
you have myriads of machines out there to choose from, so you do not like
the features of one machine, go to its competitor and perhaps you will find
what you want from them.
