Hi folks, particularly those who use an Apex,

I am delighted to announce the availability of a compatibility version of
PBWorks 6.0 for BrailleNote Apex. Well, not exactly a compatibility version,
but to see if the information on the site is correct (as of the Apex
release).

Some of the changes as of Public Beta 3 include:

.         Two exciting articles has been added to Scientific Calculator
section on the Support Hotline. For a while, this section was not touched
except for an article explaining statistical terms used in KeyPlus. These
new articles are:

.         Setting decimal precision: To find out how to set decimal
precision from none to up to nine decimal places.

.         Working with fractions: a tutorial-style article, detailing how to
write and manipulate fractions on the BrailleNote's calculator, namely
convert a fraction to decimals and vice versa, obtaining a reciprocal
fraction and working with mixed number and improper fractions.

.         A new article on resetting BrailleNote to factory defaults has
been added under Support Hotline. As of now, the information in that article
reflects pre-apex units - Classic, PK and mPower. Once people experiment
more with resetting the Apex, I'll add a footnote as to how to do this on
the Apex.

.         The front page of the site has been updated to include
instructions on how to navigate to the previous page or a site. The overall
layout of the front page has not changed.

.         Some display issues, such as unwanted lines, is now cleaned up (I
used paragraph reading commands to edit out these blank lines).

.         Some of the articles on the Support Hotline has been rearranged.
Also, the "Miscellaneous" section has been renamed to "Other Issues" to
better reflect the articles posted under this section, such as resetting
BrailleNote to factory defaults and a tutorial on Support Information Mode.

The purpose of this Beta is to mainly finish developing the core features of
BrailleNote PBWorks 6.0, as well as transition to Release Candidate mode -
where I can edit the content of the site (with your help) until the site is
declared final. Also, this public beta is meant to receive feedback from
BrailleNote Apex users in terms of accuracy of the site content, whether the
site loads and works well with Apex and to clean out misinformation and fix
spelling and other issues (with your help, of course).

The site is, as it has been, braillenote.pbworks.com. Enjoy the site - and
as always, if you have any feedback or comments, please let me know (I need
to again balance this site management with college studies starting next
week.).

Happy Holidays,
