concerned because it I'm just curious. For those of you who travel for work and share files in meetings and other work sejtings, how do you find the bn meets your needs? If your in an office and need to share a file with or give it to someone, how do you do this quickly and easily? I really like my braille note but work in a call center right now but have to wonder, if i work in an office setting o day or travel, will the bn be enough. I would like to see the bn get better and am a little concerned that eventually pdi will be out in the cold and us too although i hope not. I don't need to play multimedia stuff on the go and i guess if i were a student and someday will again, how does this work in that setting? I don't think I want a pm but i also hope my state's money will last long in to the future. and I guess because seeing so many unhappy or at least very concerned people just makes me wonder. I was assurred by more than one person last year that the bns days weren't numbered but reading all this mail has me worried. I eon't one do want to be the only bn user left who's not old and not a student . I guess this works for me for now and i used to have the same concerns about my braille lite note takers and I just hope that down the line pdi is still around and that the bn 5 years from now won't be exactly what it is today or maybe I'm one of the few people who doesn't mind not having third party software, on the go and who doesn't mind using my cell to be wireless, but what about the day when that doesn't work >----- Original Message ----- >From: Andy Baracco <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Braillenote List <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Sat, 03 Apr 2004 20:23:36 -0800 >Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Another idea for future upgrades:
