Hi list, Just my thoughts on the negative feedback regarding the upgrade. It's my opinion that the BN is not to be used as a computer substitute. I don't know many sighted people who rely solely on their PDA's without possessing a laptop or other PC as well. The BN is a great machine, but it's not a computer and therefore cannot be expected to behave as one. I am aware that other PDA's for the blind have slightly more improved Word and HTML support compared to the BN, and I am disappointed as well that this wasn't addressed in the coming upgrade. but at the same time, there are still limitations to everything, because again, there is no substitute for a computer, which can be purchased for about a third of the price of the BN, screen readers included. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, please remember that the BN is wonderful, but not a computer. As a college student, I rely on both pieces of equipment equally. Just something to think about! KD
