Terry, not to mention where they put the keys for dots 1 and 4. I'm sorry to say that my attempt to take notes in a meeting with a borrowed PK resulted in a whole page of Egyptian! (grin)

I have been writing braille since second grade. I only saw the PK once and there are just to many keys on it. Why did they make the double space bar and I can not, for the life of me, accept the fact that they took the print/emboss feature away. At least in 6.11 we would have the print feature and we would have both memory cards. I think the 6.11 can have wireless so what are they missing that the PK has? I don't know of anything and the 6.11 has more memory and can print.

There is no way around this! We already had to send in our BN classics to get the motherboard upgrades when 4.x came on the scene, and I know of very few people who have either the funds or the time to send away their units for more hardware upgrades. PDI/Humanware did a fantastic job with the latest upgrade, and I have never regretted having a BNQT instead of a PK. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of will Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 7:34 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE UPDATES hi i agree why cant we have an upgraded bn which is like the braille note PK we dont have funds to keep purchasing better products, the braille note should in time, be abel to do what the braille note does regards, will ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Thacker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 2:42 AM Subject: [Braillenote] SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE UPDATES 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.
