Hi Paul,
My apologies for not replying earlier. I've been out of town until today
and did not take my braille sense with me because I still am not comfortable
with all of its features yet. To answer your question, I waited for about
10 minutes or so. What about you? Did you have the same problem as me and
what did you do? I am just going through my 500 email messages now so I
hope you already figured out a way to solve the problem.

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

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.
