I agree with you; at one time, I could obtain good information about
the feeding and care of my Braille Note. However, this is no longer
the case.

Hi, folks: I've been on this list again for a month or two, and have
mostly been, as the cb'ers used to say, "copying the mail." That
means, I've been mostly reading the posts.
The predominant theme of these posts has been frustration:
frustration with lack of news about the new upgrade; frustration
with the lack of response to complaints by HW; frustration with the
lack of useful features, as opposed to what might be called
frivolities; frustration that the frivolities are the wrong ones!
Frustration, frustration, frustration. Now I'm not saying that this
frustration might not be justified; what I am saying, however, is
that we're now on the third or fourth time around for these same
complaints.
When my wife, Dorie, and I bought our M-power, I got back on the
list, because I figured I could learn something. This list used to
be a wonderful source for information about how to really work the
BN. However, this list is nothing more than a source for grousing
and griping, with some occasional good questions thrown in.
(Frankly, I'm kind of surprised that the folks who dare to ask good
questions aren't severely reprimanded, and told to get with the
program, and complain like everyone else, or face the consequences.
The BN is far from perfect; that's for sure. But, I have to wonder:
if I subscribed to another company's list, is it not possible that I
might hear complaints there, too? We always imagine that the grass
is greener, on the other side of the fence. Usually, though, it's
not greener; just different.
The new upgrade will be out soon. Maybe it will be terrible, and
maybe it won't. The fact is that, whether you like it or not,
you'll probably buy it, because, if you don't do that, you won't be
able to buy the next upgrade, which may have everything you ever
wanted on it.
I think we all need to stop and take a deep breath. We need to
think about whether messages we post are really adding any good
info, or just re-hashing the same old stuff. I also must say that I
hope that the use of vulgar language won't become more than a one-
time thing. We can hear that on the street. We don't need to have
it in our inboxes.
Well, I think this novela is over. Thank you for your indulgence.
Let's try to get back to being a list, where good info is
exchanged. Blessings, Bob
