Sorry, Listers,
I'm behind in my emails as far as this list is concerned, so please
forgive me ! As far as repeating numbers in the calculator is concerned, I feel
that this is a great feature because, if you are typing very fast, as most of
us do when we are using a notetaker that has a braillewriter keyboard, it is
very easy to make typographical errors called "braillos"! I've even done this
myself! That's why I usually try to proofread my emails before I send them.
In any case, making a "braillo" in the Calculator Program will affect your
calculations.
Also, I like the fact that, when you are either adding or subtracting a
long series of numbers, you can press c-chord (space-dots-1-4) and the Sense
notetakers will read to you the entire list of numbers that you are trying to
either add or subtract. This way, if you are trying to either add or subtract
a long series of numbers, and you still haven't completed your mathematical
problem, pressing c-chord will point out to you where you have left off in case
you get distracted! Hope this helps.
