Hello all,
This may well be the last post from me (a little military pun
there). As I stated previously, I have become so frustrated with
the bug infested Keysoft system that I have thrown my hands in
the air and decided to apply the "old Texas fix" to the problem:
throw money at it. I am Apple bound.
Last night I lost the contents of another file. I was almost
convinced to go the Apple route and so after a lot of reading I
am convinced that a Macbook Pro: VoiceOver, (the human sounding
voice actually breathes) and the forthcoming Snow Leopard
operating system with gesture navigation support (as on the
iPhone) is for me.
I thank all who have offered me support and I wish all of you
well.
Dave.

Subject: [Braillenote] Keysoft 8 Thread: Dominic Gagliano
I'm forwarding the following message from Peggy which is in reply
to
Dominic's earlier post concerning KeySoft 8.
If others wish to comment on this thread please use my message
when
replying and NOT Dominic's original message. The reason for this
is
that the total size of Dominic's original message is close to
exceeding
the limit accepted by the list mailing system. This was caused
by the
fact that Dominic included the list digest as part of his
message.
If you reply to Dominic's original message the messages will be
discarded by the mail list.
Thanks

Thanks for the update, Dominic. I think the frustration, for me
at
least,
is not so much the delay, but the total silence on HumanWare's
part.
I'd
rather hear more frequent "we're still testing and fine tuning"
updates
than
dead silence. It seems like HumanWare only responds when 456
people
start
grumbling and saying we're frustrated, and then we get a message
like
yours.
I would rather have a message like yours posted on its own, and
not as a
response to a bunch of people feeling frustrated. Just
expressing my
feelings and giving feedback, and in no way meaning this as an
attack.

total
silence of Humanware about anything BrailleNote-related

Subject: [Braillenote] KeySoft 8 update
I read that everyone is anxious to know the status and also read
a lot
of frustrations. KeySoft 8 is in its final beta testing and
being
prepared for release very, soon. There is a risk in providing an
exact
release date if the software is not completely tested and our
only
position is to meet due dates which has happened in the past. We
now
insist that we follow thru on the complete testing process and
release
once R&D have given approval.
There is a good deal of speculation on features for KeySoft 8.
These
have already been established and posted on this list as well as
our
website. This upgrade will not include an upgrade to Windows CE.

SMA's provide for two future upgrades without any specific time
frame.
If you prefer to not invest in future upgrades, then you can
purchase
single upgrades at additional cost. SMA purchases help fund the
cost for
engineering to produce software upgrades.
I thank those on the list that have been patient and have
attempted to
explain to those others that in the end we all want a stable
reliable
release.
