Hello,
How long did you wait until pressing the reset button?
Sometimes pages take awhile to load on Braille-note-takers.

web Browser
Hi Don and Mike,
Don. Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. The address of
the page I used was http://news.google.ca/nwshp?hl=en&tab=wn
From there, I clicked on a news story in the top stories portion
of the page. After reading the article, I then pressed backspace
p to go to the previous page, and that's when the unit would
freeze up and just display "loading page" until I press the reset
button. I am nervous about trying to use the web browser program
anymore because I don't know what other problems will come up.
Thus far, I noticed that pages load very slowly, sometimes its
tricky to read information because the braille sense seems to
have problems reading line by line without repeating itself, and
of course because the unit freezes up with a simple command as
"go to previous page".
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.
Cheers
Karli

Karli,
What link did you use to get to the google news page?
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.

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.
