Eric, Thanks tons! This is totally helpful. It doesn't surprise me about WE at all. I don't use fusion all that much, just for my school and I can live with maybe using computer braille for that if needs be. I won't be buying anymore sma's for that program after version 8.0 I don't think.. the rest sounds great, though. I've been struggling along with my old bps for awhile now, so having 40 cells sounds a treat but I got used to 32 cells. Cait
