Well you would only get to use it for 2. hours. I use to think that was pretty tacky to tie that thing to the Voicenote like that. Then I got one and had to use it for a hole day and it was able to run some the next day with out charging. A standard laptop will never meet the needs of a blind user that really travels. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tina B." <tinabir@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Just wondering how portable this would really be. How you would carry, hear, and use the laoptop when you are out and how you'd do it with a braille display if you used that. The idea of the pdas is to just carry it and with the strap at least that the bn has, you can just wear it which is what I always do with mine, and have it right there, but I can't picture that with a laptop. I'd be interested though to hear how it worhks if anyone figured it out or if sendero does revisit that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howard Kaufman" <wa9top@xxxxxxxxx>To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 7:10 AM Subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: bouncing aroundI always check the weather beefore going out. That way I know the prevailing wind direction, speed, and if it is expected to change. Living near Lake Michigan, the wind will often change in the afternoon, and come from the east off the lake. The temperature can drop 20 DG when the lake turns on the air conditioning. Usually winds die down after sunset. It's not perfect, but combined with other information, it can be a clue when needed.
