Hi Tom, I personally like my Braille keyboard and BT model, probably because I did everything on a Perkins Brailler before I got my BrailleNote and was just used to that keyboard. I would definitely recommend checking out the BrailleNote Users Web site, as we have a lot of people who contribute to our site who have QT models, and they can provide a lot of information which I can't personally provide. I know absolutely nothing about the QT commands, as I have always worked with a BT keyboard, first on an mPower and now on an Apex. I would especially suggest checking the command summary section of our site for QT command lists; I believe it was finished and posted this week. Good luck in the switch to the new keyboard!

Many people on this list have been extremely patient in answering the various questions I have posed over the past few weeks, as I have tried to learn the ins and outs of the Braille Note Apex BT32. As a result, I think it is only fair that I let you know of a decision I made today. Basically, I have decided to make the switch from the BT32 Braille Note Apex, to the QT32 Apex with the qwerty keyboard. I am still well within the 30-day free exchange period, so I thought that I'd better make the switch soon if I'm going to do it. It's hard for me to explain why I have decided to make the switch, but I'll just say it this way. For whatever reason, even though I'm a very proficient Braille user, the Braille-style keyboard was just too hard for me to get used to, and to feel comfortable with. I tried a qwerty keyboard BN Apex today, and the keyboard simply felt much more comfortable to me. It probably will be a few weeks until Humanware processes the change, and I get my new qwerty model. So, in the meantime, I'm going to read up on the documentation I have that will be helpful with the qwerty functions. If anyone has any helpful hints, command lists, or "how to" guides for the qwerty Braille Note Apex, please send them my way. I will also check out the braillenote users web site to see what I can find there. I am sure at least some folks here will disagree with what I have done, but it really does seem like a matter of personal preference to me, more than anything else. Thanks for listening, and again, for putting up with all of my questions of late. Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
