Hello everyone,
I usually put all my important information on an SD card rather
than on the disk itself. I did lose a file once, but I believe I
did something hastily and that's why I lost it. I don't have any
problems saving files on my mPower. Hope that's encouraging.

With MeOnHoliday
I have been thinking myself, about this!
I have a braille note mpower at the moment and since it ate my
novel I simply do not trust it to retain it's files. Of what use
is such a device??
I'm always wondering now if I save something will it be there
later for me to find??
Just my thoughts on this.
My best to all Jack

Subject: [Braillenote] Sign of the Times: Apex Isn't Coming With
Me OnHoliday
I used to take BrailleNote (Classic, MPower) on holiday with me
to Turkey. It did everything important, that is to take the odd
to-do note, to browse (including email; no KeyMail even then), to
play games (yes, plenty of games), to go mobile and pair with
cell phones and wirelessly, to read books and to be an all-round,
rugged, bug-free, braille-enhanced system for just generally
getting stuff done, on the plane, in the cab, on the balcony, and
with great speed and alacrity.
But not this summer. This summer, it seems likely that my iPhone
and MacBook will together make up my technological accoutrements.
The Apex is simply not suitable for production use. I know
that's a bit harsh, but it's true. Even though in theory it can
do everything, in practice it can't, for example because it can't
operate with its display turned off, because its QT keyboard
isn't good for long stretches (pending adjustment) and because
the software is just generally buggy and freeze-happy. If it
weren't for its use as a serial-line braille display and
tolerable game-playing, I wouldn't even have need of it outside
of note-taking, and the new MacBook Air is tempting me there.
And, although these aren't directly BrailleNote's fault, I cannot
play my AAC-encoded audio files, nor tether with my iPhone for
data.
So, um, there you are. I can't help feeling rather sad. What
happened when PulseData went out? Something, I'm sure. Indeed,
many of the more immediate problems could be addressed if I could
downgrade to KeySoft 9.0.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
