Hi, I can log onto the internet fine
with my Braille note 32, can go to
search and download from bookshare and
also can log on other search engines
like alltheweb. However, when I log
into Google and do a search an error 404
comes up. Can someone help with why I
might be getting that and what to do
about it. I tried logging into Google
from my favorites and doing a search and
got the 404 error then tried entering
the address for Google not from the
favorites and got the same error. Help
would be appreciated.
Well, apparently, Humanware thinks this
is a stupid error, and they don't care.
I wrote to BITS about it and just got
told to use http://www.google.com/pda.
Shannon, apparently you're supposed to
use a different URL now. There's been
no official recognition from Humanware.
Google certainly isn't talking, and
nobody in the blind community seems to
think that this error, experienced by BN
users, Braille Sense users, and Braille
Plus users is worth the time of day to
comment. There were only some fifty
messages about this so called error,
it's a bug, not an error, over the
weekend.
My best suggestion, if you care to
listen to an old cynic like me, is just
go to http://www.google.com/pda. You
aren't worth the time it takes anyone
official to notice your problem. After
all, this is Tuesday. Guess the fact
that the Google web site has changed and
BrailleNote users have to accept it
doesn't phase Humanware. I mean the
very least they could do is say, gosh,
folks, we know they've changed stuff,
and could you please use a different
URL. Guess we just have to um, well,
I'd rather not be vulgar, but you know
what I'm thinking.
