Re: [Braillenote] flying with a flash memory card

Sat, 21 Jan 2006 17:12:52 -0800

I just can't begin to tell you what doors the BrailleNote has opened for me when it comes to Web Braille. I have hundreds of volumes on my 512 megabyte flash card and I take my books everywhere I go. I'm reading John Grisham's A TIME TO KILL right now and I find it hard to put it aside to do other things. Reading is my greatest addiction. I just scanned a book called GOD BLESS THE CHILD by Kristin Hunter and I have it in my BrailleNote. This book was long out of print and Howard University Press put it back in to circulation.
But I digress. Suffice it to say that I love reading books on the BrailleNote.

You'll like Web-Braille on the BN; it's one of my favorite things, and 
great for a trip.

Well, i've never tried web braille on the BN, but I'm going to try to get 
a
book or two, transfer it to my flash card, then load it onto the BN and 
see
what happens.  The friend I'm going to visit is considering buying a BN, 
so

I want to be able to show her how she can read books on it.  so, it's
motivating me to try things I haven't bothered to do yet.  Wish me luck.

Sherry

You probably won't be listening to any mp3s either.  (Grin)  Let's see 
now,

how do I turn this thing on?  (Grin again)

The last time I flew, not only was it great to have all my books in 
Braille,

but all my mp3s to listen to as well.  And then there was the annoyance of
not having any alcoholic beverages at all served on the plane.  I didn't

care, but the person behind me was whining the whole time about how 
nervous

she was and how much she wished for something to read to distract her from
plane panic.  Lucky me, I had my BrailleNote.

Sherry,
I'll settle for two double whiskey sours! I'll be fast asleep then. I
won't be able to read the web-braille. <grin>

taking

care of her helps to keep me from being nervous.  And if I can read or
listen to some music, I'll be even better.  that and  a nice glass of red
wine.  Or two.  grin.

Hi all,

Recently, we discussed flying with the BN.  I'm going on a trip next

week,

and I'm planning to take some MP3 files on my flash memory card.  This 
is
probably a dumb question, but will the x-ray process damage it in 
anyway?

Thanks.

Sherry
