Hi list.
I'd just like to clear up a few points made on here over the last
24 hours.
From what i understand, you can write in grade 2 anywhere except
for non-braille format documents (documents which are not keyword
braille or brf), web addresses, email addresses, online forms and
other prompts which display the message "Computer braille is
required." Note that you must have the option in the keyboard
settings that informs you when a non-preferred braille grade is
required set to yes (which is the default). If you have ueb, you
can enter ueb anywhere except non-braille formats (see previous
explanation), web addresses and online forms. I don't use ueb
myself so there may be other places where you cannot use ueb.
You can write emails in grade 2 however, you will need to enter
the email address in computer braille (or ueb if enabled). When
you receive emails, the header information is always displayed in
computer braille whereas the message body will display in your
preferred braille grade.
You can send/receive attachments with keymail. If you attach a
keyword file, keymail will ask you whether you want to send the
file in a different format, offering ms word 2003 as the default.
This is the same with receiving attachments. You should be aware
of two things though.
1. Most email providers, including gmail, have size limits on
attachments.
2. In my experience, keymail struggled to download an email
containing an audio file of around 14 MB. If at all possible,
i'd recommend downloading large attachments using a pc.

fairly inactive but hopefully the discussion will soon improve as
more members subscribe.
Regarding keyboards: it's really down to a matter of personal
preference. If you are quicker and more comfortable with typing
on a braille style keyboard, then the BT is for you. I'd assume
that both keyboards can get problems with the spacebar.
If you want to check your SMA status, visit:
http://www.pulsedata.propagation.net/sdw/user/login.aspx
Once there, enter your serial number and the universal password
frog1 and click the logon button. You should then be taken to a
page where you can check to see how many SMA counts you have
left.
Regarding the internet: i'm not sure where temporary internet
files are actually stored. The best thing is to just not worry
about them and just use the delete option in the "Internet file
management menu". As for your other question, i've had this
problem before. I've usually ended up having to do a reset to
fix the problem.
That's all I have to say for now.
