I disagree the scientific calculator is very important for people
who are in either college or middle or highschool. When I was
able to get the braillenote I knew fullwell what came with it
such as the games. Humanware is addressing the word support
concern and the rest well we can chose to use what is available
or chose not to. Everryone on this list and else where are
entitled to his or her right to use or not use something. That
doesn't make a feature less important. Every feature serves a
purpose whether we use them or not. Someone else might find it
valuable.

Subject: [Braillenote] future releases of KeySoft and
compartmentalisation
Hi everyone,
Recently Matthew intrigued me when he referred to his using the
fm
radio "for traffic" reports: look out everyone in the district
where he
lives, he's on the road (smile).
Seriously, though, I live in an Australian Capital City
(Adelaide) and
cannot get ANY even MAJOR radio station even using headphones.
I've
NEVER opened the "games" folder NOR the "scientific calculator".
What would be really innovative would be if it were possible for
Humanware to streamline the future Braillenote so that customers
could
purchase the applications THEY will use: another producer albeit
of
braille displays has cottoned on to this concept.
This may be totally impracticable ... but ... maybe not?
I think that the overwhelming majority of BN users would agree
that
Keyword, Keymail, Keylist, Keyweb and Keyplan + the Mediacentre
are
central to this unit's life with the other features like the
calculator
and keybase not so crucial.
We have had the catalogues of suggestions for future releases,
before,
and both Matthew's but especially Alex's lists of bugs do need
addressing. However, without compartmentalisation it looks to me
as if
what's wanted is a dedicated, stand-alone mini-computer and
that's not
what Braillenote claims to be.
I am irritated in Keyword when "number-sign 4" and only that
number is
pronounced "bled" and no matter what one does cannot change that
presentation â even after its translation into a "word format".
Stefan Slucki.
