Blake and all, Speculating, asking questions, and criticizing (both positively and negatively) about a new software release is very standard practice amongst both blind and sighted consumers alike.
Kristen, if needs aren't being met and questions aren't being answered in the consumer world, being "thankful" is irrelevant: we are, of course, very fortunate to have Braille displays and/or speech synthesizers, as you point out; but on the other hand, the BrailleNote family of products is clearly falling behind other notetakers, and after investing money and/or time in these units, people are understandably upset at the lack of promised Word support, software developer kit, and any kind of explanation from Humanware. So while I'm deeply thankful to live in the modern, industrialized world that I do, just nodding and smiling and saying "thank-you" from a consumer standpoint makes no sense whatsoever. And Kevin, I apologize - I thought you'd made some reference to converting files to RTF, but it turns out youu didn't - sorry for the false quotation.
