I can't resist the temptation to make an editorial comment here. Who else 
agrees with me? Back in 2004 I spent $5.000 of my hard-earned money on a 
BrailleNote Classic (can I get an amen? I'm sure many of you have been there!) 
Then in 2008 I took advantage of the transplant program and purchased the 
Empower, which I still currently have. Now HumanWare has come out with the 
Apex, and I've decided I'm not upgrading from my Empower. Reason: When most 
products no longer required wireless connector cards (2008), the Empower still 
required them. The BrailleNote, aside from its refreshable Braille display, 
which is fabulous, feels in my hands like 2002 era technology. I have not had 
the honor of seeing an Apex yet, but my guess is that the BrailleNote family of 
notetakers will never keep pace technologically with Apple products. I don't 
even go online with the Empower anymore. My Ipod does that job so much more 
efficiently and conveniently, and for a fraction of the cost. My next purchase 
will be a Braille display that connects to all of my Apple devices. 
BrailleNote, it's been nice knowin' ya. . .

Subject: [real-eyes] tips for connecting a braille note to the internet

Hi Karen,
Here is a page of tips I found for connecting a braille note to the internet 
and wifi.
http://www.braillenoteusers.info/articles/internet/Connecting-to-the-Internet.php

This makes it sound as clear as mud, but maybe something in there will help.
