Well, I agree with you, Isaac, although I'd probably phrase it differently (smile). You know, for learning the PacMate, the MP3 tutorial files that come with the machine are pretty cool. FS has gotten into doing these audio tutorials and they're kind of fun.

I just don't like reading the manual! If someone sat and taught me the thing, I'd learn it very quickly! I've noticed this already! but I've not really had any one teach me the BN. I think I'd prefer the PM if I had my choice. I think it's a power machine and it's really for power users. No offense meant, I wouldn't recommend the PM for the little old ladies and gentlemen of the world. <smile> Isaac On Thu, 2 Jun 2005, Susan Stageberg wrote: > I agree with Jim bout learning the BrailleNote with very little effort.
