Hi Don and all Tell me a little about how you can write a check. I shure did not know it could be done.
While I am here, the electrical plug I was talking about was not a serge protecter. It was one of those square blocks that have six outlets on the frunt and two plugs on the back. Up to six cords can be plugged in to it at a time. I only had two. These do not have an on or off switch. Hope this makes sence now. This morning I got the curage to demo my Bt at my Admin meeting with the use of all of your help. I am on the road to reading the manual.

Yes, I too write all my letters on this machine and also am able to write my bank cheques; this is a most useful feature. However, the greatest difference it has made to my life is surely the ability to communicate by email. I have no PC with which to connect it, and, due to the fact that I'm such a rotten typist, I probably never will have, so I am especially interested in features that may be used independently, and not necessitate having a PC. Though the present GPS system needs some work to make it more usable, the poi file, which is not, in its present form, especially useful for me, has one great attribute; it can be personalized by the addition of specific points of interest. I am enjoying visiting all the pubs and restaurants in my region so that they may be marked in. What fun! All my magazines, previously received in Braille, now come by email. I find them quicker to deal with, and I'm not left with masses of paper to dispose of. Also, a great many books now arrive for me down the wire; At present I've about six unread books waiting my attention, they are stored on a 6 gyg accurite hard disc, purchased from Pulsedata. I also have bought a 250 meg card which gives me a feeling of security when handling large files. It is indeed interesting to note the different facilities which people regard as important, I, for example, have not used the planner and rarely use the calculator; though when I've used this last feature, I've found it very good. Anyway, I'd better get back to those books, though I've not even touched on the preparation of printed and Braille documents and, oh yes, my exciting ventures on to the net, and the words of the hymns for church which now arrive by email from which I get a Braille copy, but I really must stop, but life can be so interesting, can't it? Cheerio for now, and my sincere thanks to all who contribute with advice and suggestions on this list. have a good Christmas.
