Thank you Bob. I am sending this from my Braille Sense Plus. Thanks to Raul, I have learned to set up my wireless connection, and am able to send and receive. With kind assistance, I have learned to put addresses in the address book, use the wordprossor, and surf the net using this wonderful machine. I only said I knew nothing about the Braille Sense so that anyone helping me would know I needed to learn it's commands and that I had no computer. I really didnt expect abuse or to be spoken to as if I couldn't comprehend simple instructions.
