Hi, Sarah. I have the same regard for my laptop that you have for your Braille Note...and thank God, I do have a wireless network! The only cord I'm attached to is the one plugging this thing in when need be. Take care.

I haven't killed a scanner, which is really good since mine couldn't be replaced and I am very attached to it, but I did cause a NLS tape player to stop working by pouring cranberry juice over it. Those things are tough and a glass of water didn't phase it, but I suspect cranberry juice is even worse than wine because it is so sticky. I thought I was going to die of embarrassment when I told the librarian about the accident. One of my cousins dumped another glass of cranberry juice I was drinking over my first printer. It was a stupid old printer, so I wasn't so upset about that, but the mess was very unpleasant to clean up. I also dumped a can of mountain dew next to my laptop when the modem's phone cord got tangled around it. Fortunately I grabbed the laptop so fast that liquid didn't reach it yet. Another good excuse for wireless networks? ;-) I still drink stuff around my scanner and computer, but it is hard to spill in them. The one thing I am extremely careful around is my braille note. I practically guard that thing with my life.

I can't wait to download them. I spilled a beer once and it went under a printer, but it still works. lol. No spilling wine on this new scanner! <grin> lol. The wine is to drink not spill! <grin> But, there's one thing you must do. The next time you have a glass of wine, you must shared with all of us. <grin> lol.
