Hello, Kim,
It looks like you ran smack dab into one of those juvenile
moderator-creeps who believes he is a legend in his own mind. I just love
those guys. On another list I was recently on, there was one owner but no
moderator. The owner was owner of several different lists, so very seldom
checked what was going on with that particular list. Another member knew
this, and set himself up as moderator, and was really coercing the other
members to jump through his hoops on the threat of getting banned, not
only from that list, but from the whole network. Of course, he couldn't
do it, but he had a bunch of people running scared until someone told the
owner what was happening. Anyway, if other list members will answer your
questions on-list, you have nothing to worry about. If everybody gets
disgusted and leaves the list, the moderator can pick up his marbles and
go look for another list to play 3PO Creepio on.

Dick,
Mind? Oh not at all! This list is incredibly friendly. I recently
purchased a Nokia 6620 cell phone and Talks software. I'm on the talks
e-mail support list, and the moderator of that group eluded to the fact
that my elementary-level questions regarding the Talks program were
unwelcome. After that, I was afraid to post much of anything. Now I just
lurk on that list and e-mail people privately if I have questions about a
topic they've brought up.

Hello, Kim,
I am all for people helping you. That is what this list is for. however,
I
do not think the help should be given to only you through private
correspondance. Many of us would like to know the answers to the
questions
you are asking. Let's keep the Q and A sessions on the list. I hope you
don't mind.

Greetings,
I just purchased a BrailleNote and, with no training readily available to
me, am attempting to teach myself to use the unit via the PulseData tech
support line and the manuals that accompany the unit. I'm thrilled with
the
machine, but also realize what a steep learning curve I'm experiencing.
When
it comes to computers, I'm not always the sharpest tack in the box unless
someone specifically explains various concepts to me. (Then I have
absolutely no difficulty catching on).
Rather than disturbing all of you proficient users with my beginner's
prattle, I'm wondering if a few people might be willing to step forward
and
e-mail me privately--a few good people willing to serve as braillenote
"mentors" during this next month until I get myself truly up and running.
All I can promise in return is that I'll gladly return the favor once I'm
proficient in using the BrailleNote.
My initial questions are these (which all of you proficient BrailleNote
users are going to find are really "scary"!!!:
1. I can find absolutely nothing in the BN manuals or help menus about how
to delete a document. I find "delete word", "delete sentence"--but nothing
about deleting the entire document. I assumed it would be listed in the
same
menu as "open a document", but it doesn't appear to be there.
2. With the assistance of tech support, I figured out how to insert the
WiFi
card (now--setting WiFi up so that I can use it at my local Borders is a
different story.) However, the tech couldn't get through to me how to
insert
the compact flash card. I know it goes into the back slot, where the WiFi
card can also be inserted, but beyond that. . .
3. How does one install upgrades? I'm not all that great at cabling to
other
computers, Etc., so I'm hoping it can all be done with the stand-alone
unit.
(I'm absolutely getting the disk drive as soon as the bugs are fixed.)
This is just the beginning of the many questions I can't find answers to
in
the manuals.
If anyone is willing to assist me, my e-mail address is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Many thanks in advance.
