I just want to comment here. I had a laptop with a wireless card that only fit in the side slot and I couldn't get a decent signal outside. But now, with my teeny wireless ca4rd in the back slot of the BrailleNote, I am able to sit on my porch and surf the nweb! Now, if only my email would work! Still frustrated on that point. I keep getting domains now found and other cryptic errors that I can't remember, andI don't know how to recover them so that someone can look at them *sigh*. Does anyone have *any ideas*? I relaly miss email with the BrailleNote.
