Hi Andy: In all due respect, I don't think the people on the list are trying to make the BN in to a laptop computer. What I hear and have said is PDI has to look down the road to keep up with technology, meaning if they keep the current Windows CE, etc then they will be regressing their ability to keep up with technology.
As web pages become more complex, Keyweb will not be able to access the pages on more and more sites and we have seen this kind of talk on the list regarding accessing web sites. You can't stay at the cutting edge of technology but then one can't afford to be too far behind technology because it's very expensive to play leap frog. smile ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Baracco" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, April 03, 2004 10:23 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Another idea for future upgrades: > I have a PC at home, and one at work. i bought the BN strictly for mobil > use. i bought in in the summer of 2000, so a lot has happened since then, > but the reason I picked it was because it was the only note taker that did > POP Email, so I could use it with my regular ISP.
