HI, I'm not sure about your second question but I can respond to your first. I have flown a few times with my Braillenote and have always had it X-rayed and haven't had any problems. As long as the staff are trained about the Braillenote product then you shouldn't have any problems. You may have to explain it if they aren't trained because with laptops they ask you to remove the battary before X-ray but you can't do this with the Braillenote. I have been asked once but I didn't have to explain because another staff member jumped in and knew what it was. The first time I traveled with one of my Braillenote products I took a copy of a brochure about it with me just encase they had any questions but I didn't need it. My dad even carried it that trip for one leg of the trip and they didn't even question him so most of the staff we came across must have known about it.
Hope this helps a bit but just be prepared that the staff might not know about the Braillenote products and you may have to explain a bit about it so they are happpy with it. >From Shaz.

I don't want it to be damaged by the x-rays so wasn't sure what to do about it. I know laptops can be x-rayed but didn't know for sure on the bn. The second question I have is about sending emails to the list here, wither via desktop pc or braillenote. When I send an email via braillenote to the Braillenote list, I get a message back saying that my email has been delayed, and then I don't hear anything else, whether it went through or whether it didn't. I didn't get a bounce though, it just said it was being delayed. I have also gotten undelivered notices if I send the list an email with my braillenote, but when I send them to the list with the pc, they seem to be ok and people get them and can respond to them just fine. I am positive that my GMail account on my braillenote is working because everything else that I send with that account goes through except for this list. Also I know it works because I can receive emails on it just fine, it's only sending emails with my GMail to this particular list. Kerri ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
