I have fixed all my problems with the bn and haven't had to reset or anything in 3 days.

I have an mPower, 8.1, and it works well. I use it for reading, mostly, and a calculator. I love the calculator on the BN. I don't think any company for the blind have ever achieved such a great calculator.

I get fed up at times with people complaining that the BN doesn't do all they want it to do, the things that would require major updates to both software and hardware. I am very happy with my Apex it does all I need it to do and I have a PC for those things the Apex can't handle. My only complaint about humanware is that they stopped supporting the PK and haven't offered a replacement. Because of this I have just recieved a grant which I will be using to buy a braille sence mini to replace my out of date PK. As I say if humanware had an option like the PK I would happily buy it because there are times I can't take my Apex with me due to medical issues so need a lighter
and smaller machine to take instead.Well that was way more then I was going to say but I can say it has been
good to open up some messages from happy BN users.

Although there are times when my Apex crashes, seizes up etc, on reflection it doesn't misbehave any more than the other pieces of tech I have mentioned. What I can say as a braille user is that it's provided me with more independence in the workplace than I had prior to owning one. I can genuinely say 3 years on from first receiving it is that without it I don't think I would be able to do my job these days without it. The other positive element to go with this is the support that is there from the staff at Humanware. I have mentioned Tom before from the office in the uk, any issue relating to the Apex I can email him about and get a prompt response within no more than an hour. So, in conclusion, yes wecan. All moan about the kit we are using but I have
both thumbs up to the Apex as it is a quality piece of kit. All the best from Dave Sent from my iPhoneOn 26 Feb 2014, at 23:31, Carlos Lopez <carlos.lopez.1209@xxxxxxxxx
wrote: Hi all,I hope this isn't off topic. I'm just expressing my thoughts about the
BrailleNote.I'm getting very annoyed by the bn's instability. I've been experiencing many bugs with the BrailleNote lately. My bn has frozen or just locked up out of nowhere, refused to turn on, choked on digital talking books and caused me to lose all my data, didn't load some pages in Keyweb, given me a million exception command and data misalignment messages, etc and I've had to reset millions of times. Also, some touch cursor keys have been getting damaged. I've already sent it twice to Humanware for repair: the first time was because the braille display got damaged and the second time was because of a damaged touch cursor key. Both times were months from each other. To be more specific, I sent my bn for repair the first time last April and then in August. Early last month, I started having problems with other touch cursor keys, but then they stopped because I sprayed the display with compressed air. However, now I'm having problems
again with a touch cursor key. It isn't working.The BrailleNote has indeed been a helpful device since I use it for almost everything including for school and to surf the Internet. However, the constant bugs are really irritating. If this continues, I may just lose
my faith in the BrailleNote. -- CarlosSent from my BrailleNote Apex BT 32 running KeySoft 9.4 build 1226 from
