Hi Josh and list, I find it very discriminatory that the PK has things on it
that the Braillenote does not. Whilst I'm prepared to buy hardware upgrades,
I'm not prepared to shell out thousands of pounds for a new machine. I've
had my BN for four years and for the money I've shelled out on it, I expect
it to last for a good few years yet. There ought to be an insurance against
breakage and wear and tear, as us people who bought the machine for work
purposes and now can't work for reasons beyond their control can still make
use of the machine in the future. I use my BNBT every day of the week and
would be lost without it.
Cheers, Steve

>> Hey!
>> Okay, I was thinking again, yes, bad sign. LOL Anyway I have suggestions
>> for
>> the next upgrade, after 6.1, which I haven't received yet. Anyway, here
>> goes.
>> 1. Wireless use of the BN with the computer, for things such as remote
>> synthesizer, the BN as a display, active sink, printing and embossing,
>> etc.
>> It would get rid of all those cables.
>> 2. Media player playing live streams, as well as Winamp stations, and
>> Audible books. The volume needs to be controlled independently so you can
>> listen to music and surfe the net.
>> 3. Playing Daisy books.
>> 4. The supporting of the file type .kes from Kurzweil. This would also
>> include being able to summarize documents, read any note you've made
>> with
>> Kurzweil, or read any highlight you've made. You should also be able to
>> make
>> the notes, document summaries, highlights, etc on the BN and be able to
>> open
>> and use them with Kurzweil.
>> 4. Planner, be able to make one appointment for different times, not just
>> once a week, or once a month.
>> 5. Separate address book for E-mail recipients. The main address list is
>> to
>> detailed and often times you don't want phone numbers, just E-mail
>> addresses.
>> 6. In the stop watch, be able to pre set a time and have the BN go off at
>> that particular time, its the only feature I miss from the Braille and
>> Speak.
>> 7. Improve spell checker.
>> 8. Improve formatting and translation of text and word documents.
>> 9. Make a banking program, which will allow you to keep track of your
>> accounts, and fill out and print checks using your printer, or embosser.
>> 10. Please, update the Spanish software, its good, but you have lots of
>> bugs
>> and haven't released an update sense the software was released three
>> years
>> ago. Its the best out there, but needs improving.
>> 11. Put more info in the manual about using the BN as a display, i.e.
>> what
>> thumb keys do what.
>> 12. Put more info in the manual about using the Remote Synthasizer.
