I really have to jump in here and say something! The issue is, Sammie, not so much whether you are currently using a PC or a Braillenote. Sammie, you mentioned in your first message to this list that you know absolutely nothing about the BSP! In my opinion, you need to table or postpone the whole matter about internet setup and email registration until you have learned some basics about the BSP first! The first step, Sammie, is to turn on your BSP and wait for it to say "File Manager f". You are now in the Programs Menu, which is the parent menu. Then, press dots 4-5-6-chord which will take you to the last program in this menu. Then, press Enter on Help, and you will see a list of files that the Help Program deals with. The Help Program, essentially, is the BSP Online Manual. The first section of this online manual that you should read is the Help Overview for the BSP. Sammie, you did not tell us about any previous experience that you have had with using a PC. You've stated that you currently are using a Braillenote.
When I decided to purchase my VS, I had not used a PC for over two years. It was, to say the least, quite a challenge for me to jump in and begin to learn how to use the VS! I felt like I had jumped into the deep end of the swimming pool, when I really belonged in the shallow end! To make matters worse, one of the techs at GW Micro acted like I had acquired quite a bit of knowledge about PC fundamentals as well as Windows fundamentals. I had to say to this individual that I had not used a PC for over two years, and that he shouldn't assume anything about what previous experience I've had regarding PC's, basic Windows XP concepts, email setup and application, and Internet setup and application. I have mentioned to GW Micro on a number of occasions that the company should make it a future project to create some training materials on either cassette tapes or DAISY-formatted CDs that should be packed and shipped in the same box with the BSP or the VS, the documentation that comes with the unit, as well as any basic accessories which will help a person to begin to get started. This will make it much easier for people who have never been exposed to either a PDA, a notetaker, or a full-blown desk or laptop computer that uses Windows software. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jared Rimer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Date: 2008/08/16 02:44:01 Subject: Re: Re: [GWN] new user requesting assistance, please > > > I don't know much about the braille note's setup, however, if they needed to > do the same thing, it may be of help, I only know via PC. > Jared Rimer > The Jared Rimer Network, where everything is in one place. > http://www.jaredrimer.net > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rhonda and Hugh Stogner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 7:21 PM > Subject: Re: Re: [GWN] new user requesting assistance, please > > > > Sammie does mention using a Braille Note. > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Jared Rimer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[email protected]> > > Date: 2008/08/16 02:03:43 > > Subject: Re: [GWN] new user requesting assistance, please > > > >> > >> > >> No, however, I would assume Sammy is sending from a PC or another device > >> otherwise they would not be able to send if they are having issues. > >> Jared Rimer > >> The Jared Rimer Network, where everything is in one place. > >> http://www.jaredrimer.net > >> ----- Original Message ----- > >> From: "Hugh and Rhonda Stogner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> To: <[email protected]> > >> Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 6:54 PM > >> Subject: Re: [GWN] new user requesting assistance, please > >> > >> > >> > Did I miss something?
