Hi Jim and All, Regarding the upgrade of the Sense note takers, should there be major problems, I have no doubt they would be addressed promptly.
I did try the Schwan's site, but still couldn't add an item to the shopping cart. So, I'm wondering if it is something else besides cookies that is causing the problem there? I haven't dealt much with the review being requested, or was it actually a comparison, because I haven't yet upgraded my mPower to the Apex—although, the mPower is at the Sendero office to be forwarded on to HumanWare for that purpose as I write this. But, although I find the mPower and Voice Sense to download email at close to the same speed, I find the mPower tends to have more problems with the email database than does the Voice Sense with its EML email files. And, when browsing the web for more than just a quick check of the weather or a quick Google search, I always tend to use the Voice Sense as the mPower would get a memory error and need to be reset. But, all this could change with the Apex, and I just can't speak with that experience right now. Now, as to the new things with the email on the VS, well, although I can get used to anything, I personally kind of miss the quick keys of getting to the folder list or the out box, I guess formerly the storage box. Sure, I can tab around to the folder list, and I do like having the sent items box in addition to the out box, but I sometimes just miss the quick keys of getting to that folder list. Also, but its nothing that can't be fixed with a reset or two, but the email program, at least for me, has seemed to crash more than usual, at least on three or four occasions when I have tabbed to and then pressed enter to open the sent items folder. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Aldrich" <[email protected]> To: unknown <[email protected]> Date: Monday, Jul 5, 2010 10:55:56 Subject: Re: [GWN] Voice Sense reviews? > > > > > Hello! > > My wife and I got the Voice Sense and we have been very happy with our units. > GW Micro has excelent customer support!
