Hello,
Yes, the cells will need replacing. In fact, these things will not last for about 18 years. Be happy if they last for 10.

I'm not sure what you mean by cells dying too early? Do you mean they need
replacing? As I've only had the device since February, I guess I don't know
how robust it is.
My Millennium Notetaker must be close on 18 years old now but is definitely
dying!

Hello,
I believe the edge and sense use the same display? If so, I don't
like the
sense display.

I'm very pleased with my Braille Edge, which I got at the
beginning of the
year, and the only thing I don't like is that you can only have
one file
open at a time.

Hi John,
I think you picked the best note taker out of the lot. I can't
wait to get
rid of the apex.

hi hazel yes it's so sad though that we as blind people have to
pay loads
more for the special stuff so to speak and again if anything goes
wrong it
is a real real difficult one.

i have the u 2 it every now and then it just powers down for no
reason at
all which again is a real pain though i just restart it back up.

now if it gets worse i have to make a choice do i try access to
work and try
for a braille display with note taking on it and use the i
devices more or
do i look at another note taker.

there must be a situation with the stream why this is happening
and like
anything it is getting to the source of a problem.

last week i went to a customer who had another piano tuner go to
try and
stop a buzzing noise in her piano. this guy was there for hours
but he
could not find out the difficulty. so, i walked in her house and
listened
to the buzzing as i played something on her piano and straight
away i told
her to walk to the back of the room and look on the side board.
to cut a
long storry short it was a vause which vibrated when she played
an e flat
but, the problem was solved with a good laugh. so, wonder if the
stream
does this when lots of music or podcasts are on it or can it just
do it with
nothing on it. it has put me off getting a stream so i may just
get the
most up to date ipod. hi really hope it gets sorted as a lot of
blind
people use this device. i do understand these companies are in
such a very
small market and have to make money to survive

As you said John this is a really good device and I miss using
it as it has
gone back to Humanware.
I spoke yesterday to one of their tech guys and after the q & a
routine it
was decided by him it could be the circuit board.
I happened to mention about the bug but he denied knowing
anything about
it.
I told him I found that hard to believe as it had been discussed
on the
stream forum and on this list.
It seems that any company involved in the visually impaired
market bury
their heads when it comes to accepting that products can and do
have
problems.
Still Under my consumer rights as there is clearly a fault they
have to
refund my postage which they are doing.
I hope this is resolved to my satisfaction as I can't think of
another
device as compact as this.

as jackie says though it is a nice piece of kit i just truly
hope it gets
sorted.

i do not own one of these but was thinking about it.

Does your Stream work when connected to the mains?
