Hi,

I just got off the phone with one of my friends who goes to the same college
that I do. She has a braille lite m20 or m40 or something like that. We
tried using my braille note flash card in her PDA (E.G. braille Lite,) but
it didn't work. There's a program that needs to be run just to access the
flash drive and it was corrupted. I told her several times to push for bvs
to get her a braille note, at least a braille note 18 bt if not more. Oh and
also, she lost seven pages of class--notes that she needs for class. This
has never happened yet. In fact, today I spent 20 minutes erasing every file
and folder on my flash disk and did a complete re-install of keysoft5. I'm
so glad I got away from freedom scientific PDA's!!
And hopefully she'll be getting a braillenote soon too! It's so easy to use.
No graphical user interface and no having to learn to use pocket jaws with a
six-key keyboard. Jaws with a braille keyboard? doesn't sound right to me.
In fact, I'm almost sorry that my Vision teacher didn't buy me a keynote
companion in high school instead of a braille lite18. The braille lite
doesn't use neither dos or windows, I don't know what it uses, but I
personally, call it the Blazie operating system. I think one of the main
reasons for braille note's stability is that it uses windows as it's
underlying operating system. Whereas the braille lite does not. Were the
keynote companions just as good of PDA's? I know the Keynote Companions used
dos as their operating systems.

Josh
