Hi Ann
I agree with you in many respects, but your original message didn't
seem to hold out much hope as you seemed to have a big down on the
packmate as well.
I hear, and I could be completely wrong, that humanware are at least
considering the possibility of giving users the ability to shell to
windows. In this case users who wanted to could play around with
third party software, but still use keysoft. I think I quite like
that idea, but we'll have to wait to see what keysoft 8 brings.
Talk soon

Hi John,
Well, perhaps a bit harsh, but folks need to know what their
equipment can and cannot do before they buy it. If we are ever to
get out from under rehab who provides this equipment, we need to
take responsibility for knowing about our equipment. One of the
primary things about a BrailleNote is that it is a closed system,
and you cannot run third party programs on it unless, like the GPS
it is specifically allowed by Humanware. This is both one of the
BrailleNote's selling points and a major reason why those who like
the alternative notetakers use to bash the unit. This is something
which all BrailleNote users should know and understand.
