I'm sorry you've had such bad luck with the Pac Mate. The first unit I got had a lot of problems, so after a few months of having to do a great many hard resets, I got a replacement that has been extremely reliable. In a little over four years of pretty heavy use, as in just about every day, I've lost two files. And both of those in the last month. I hope something isn't going bad. It looked as though some keyboard activity I did caused all the data in the file to just vanish, but I can't recall what I did in order to try to duplicate the problem.
Well, I'll be sending it in for servicing here in a few months, and it will get the massive software update it needs.
Overall, despite those recent two file losses, I've liked it very much. Considering how much and how long I've used it, it has given me a lot of great reliable service.

E.:  That was the beauty of BN.  Unfortunately I got caught up by FS and
their little scheme to bring more people to Pac Mate. As you can tell, I am disgusted with myself for leaving BN, though as I said, BN had its problems 
for me too.

I am surprised the pagebreak fails to show up on the Pacmate. it shows up
fine on the Braille N Power. Are you sure changing a setting or something
might bring it up?

I use a Pac Mate. I like it alot. The only improvement I would like to
see is the ability to see control characters, such as the page break

symbol.

Hi everyone,
I just subscribed to this list yesterday.  My question for braille
users is what equipment or technology do you find most effective for
proofreading books?  Write me off list if you prefer.

Many thanks in advance,
Nancy Martin
