I want to be able to sync my contacts in outlook express instead of using microsoft outlook.
Also, I'm not a programmer, but the development kit would be nice to have.

I guess even if I repeat myself here time and again, stubborn fanatics will continue to be stubborn fanatics--after all, that's what those two words imply really. > Bob, all of your suggestions for future upgrades are great, and I'm sure many of us, if not all, agree with you. But notice this sad reality--they are repeats or rehashes of suggestions we have read for several months now. I'm sick and tired of reading them as "suggestions for future upgrades", and I can already hear Jonathan Mosen's probable response ringing in my ears. I do not know how long you have been subscribed to this list and how closely you monitor it, but you said absolutely nothing new. If you check the archives and if possible, the archives of the old BrailleNote list hosted at Lyris, you will see suggestions like yours, and frankly, I have read better ones, that were posted as early as December 2002 as far as I can remember. > That's the point you seem to have been missing. We make suggestions and wait for months and years, but PDI cannot deliver at a reasonable pace. The SDK request was first posted two years ago, where is it? The request for an improved email system was requested as early as version 3.6 and maybe even earlier, and we are now holding our breaths for 5.2, where is it? The need for an upgrade to KeyWeb's underlying IE 4 was voiced out last year, even before 5.0 was released, and still no assurance that it can be addressed because of limitations to the Windows CE version used or whatever, what then? > The comparison to PACMate was not to declare the BrailleNote dead or a dinosaur, but was to prove that if another company can do it for their product, it is reasonable for us to expect similar, not really the same, progress and development for our beloved BrailleNote, and to let PDI know that users are aware of this. Stop confusing this intention with your most dreaded topic of comparing the BrailleNote with competition. Please. The BrailleNote is far from becoming a dinosaur, sure. But at this rate, it will be in time and that's what we all--yes, believe it or not, including me--do not want to see. > Now, if you can think of a new suggestion, post it and I will be happy to be the first to commend you for coming up with a new one and joining the long waiting list. Let's play a game--the suggestion that gets considered the longest, wins! > > Cheers, > Kirstyn > > > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote >
