Hi Don and Mike, Don. Sorry for not getting back to you earlier.

Mike, thanks for your insite. I'm sorry you feel that I am overreacting because my braille sense has been behaving strangely. Its just that here in Canada, a braille sense plus costs almost $8000, so it's only natural for me to want to know whether my unit is deffective or the problems I mentioned are common for these types of braille notetakers. Thanks again to both of you for your comments and suggestions. I would truly appreciate any insite you may have on using the braille sense's web browser program.

I tried www.google.com/news and when I clicked on a story the bs tried to download a file rather than go directly to a news article. Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Karli To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2009 7:43 PM Subject: [GWN] Problem With Previous Page Command When Using web Browser Hi, On my second attempt at the google news web page, my braille sense plus again locked up when I pressed backspace p to go back to the previous page. Immediately after I pressed backspace p, the braile displayed showed "loading page", and stayed that way until I pressed the reset button; nothing else worked including the power button. Could one of you please try that command after clicking on a news story to see if the same thing happens. I am really concerned that my unit is deffective; I had the memory stick problem before as well. Also, is it normal for the unit to repeat by voice and braille display parts of lines until one reads work by word with the space 2 or space 5 command? It just seems to be a pretty tedious way of accessing the internet if it is normal for the braille sense to function that way. Any help with regard to using the web browser program would be greatly appreciated. I was really hoping to use my unit for the internet but so far had not had a very good experience.
