whatever happened to comparison? whatever happned to free speech? I bet
the courts would take a dim view of this. but okay.... they do have one
other thing in common--their flash card capacilities.

The Department will fix it because it belongs to their loaner pool. It was on

current product, it's new enough so the company won't give us much of a problem.
Yes, the file system is extremely different from a BrailleNote. The two
notetakers have very little in common, other than the refreshable Braille
display. I'll say no more on that subject, I've heard it's a bad idea to
discuss the competition on-list.

I bet you could get it fixed even though it isn't yours. I bet they won't
fix it cause they'll say it's old technology. I've never seen these units,
but I hear people really like them. I bet their file managers are much
simpler than the one in the bn.

hospital. Oh well, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other

I have one of the brand-new units and I can attest to the quietness. When I
compare this unit to my older one, I'm amazed at the difference. By the
way, I love the new Braille display. I was a little bit doubtful when
Jonathan assured me that this Braille display would be better than the older
one but it's true. The cursor routing buttons are more responsive and
overall, I like the new unit even better than I did the older one. But I'm
happy to have both BrailleNotes, and when I need to send this newer one back
to California, I'll have the older one as a backup.

In the beginning, the BT keys were pretty noisy and clackety, but in
newer versions they are as quiet as the QT keys, in my estimation. And
all of it is quieter than a slate and stylus. Turn the speech off in a
quiet setting and few people will know, and those who do will be
fascinated.

Well the couple of times I heard demos of things on the Braille Note Bt,
I
could hear a sort of light clacking sound as the keys came up from being
pushed down. That was one of the main reasons why I chose the qt model
over
the bt because the bt was too noisy for my book. I understand they have
quietened it down just a bit but still with the qt it is extremely
quiet. It is even quieter than my IBM which is one of the quietest
computers out
there.

You can scarcely hear the keys on the QT. I don't know about the BT.
