Hello:
I like many features of KeyMail, especially the
ability to read and write when and where I choose.
I have a separate email account for the BrailleNote;
these are easy to obtain. After some trips I've
had a few hundred email and the BrailleNote mPower
was able to deal with that volume. The process of
downloading the mail is slower than on a PC. And,
as of now html email is not easily available.
The KeyWeb program is limited and I much rather any
of the computer based browsers. KeyWeb uses memory
poorly and resets can be frequent. I use it for
weather checks and the like rather than general
surfing.
Best of luck.

Subject: [Braillenote] Beginner questions about
e-mail and browsing on theMPower.
Hello, since I've had my MPower since February 08,
and the classic model for six years before that,
I've never tried the online capabilities of either
unit. Now Sendero tells me that they'll sell me a
wireless card which will work with the MPower. I'm
considering this, especially since I deal with
hundreds of e-mails a day from discussion lists, and
I've had four Windows computer crashes this year
alone. I was reading the manual on e-mail, and it
sounds straightforward. I've been an Outlook
Express user for ten years, and I'm used to being in
the list of messages, hearing the from and subject
fields and hitting the delete key quickly. This
way, I can move quickly through the discussion
lists, while not reading every message. Can this be
done in the MPower, or do you actually open each
message and scroll through the fields? If you move
through the fields with dot 4 chord, can you delete
fields so that when moving through, you can just
hear the from and subject field before deciding
whether to read? Also, I've heard about needing to
reset the unit a lot, but is this more prevalent in
the browser than with e-mail? Can the MPower deal
well with a high volume of e-mail? Do you always
have to go through the menus to get to options, or
can you hit R chord to reply to an open message?
Also, are there translation errors sometimes when
writing in grade two which translate back to regular
print? Was there ever an audio demo of either e-mail
or the browser so I can hear it in action before I
buy the card? I can't do anything until I have the
card.
Thanks a lot.
Matthew
