I'm really sorry about your Braillenote, Elizabeth. I know you use it for
validating. I have a Braille-Lite that I love to use for reading. It had
to be repaired a few weeks ago and I felt lost without it. The Braille-Lite
won't accept RTF files, so I can't use it for validating.

A corolary to Bob's rules is
blame it on Word
(remember all those soft pagebreak and font emails from Word users on
the point of mental melt down?)
I personally was given the fickle finger of fate yet one last time in
2008 as my braillenot blew up its mother board in honor of New Year's.
So overall, just blame it all on 2008. Could it be something about
all those numbers and no odd ones? (grin for the numerology) could it
be something in the water? (for the environmentalists? Could it be
the oil speculators?
Let's hope next year brings us a great new web site, lots of fun
together and lots of good reading.
Bob your humor adds to it all.
Anybody want to buy a braillenote for parts? grin. Seriously if you
know of somebody do let me know so I can scrounge together enough
money for a unit. Also if folks know of reputable trading lists
please write me privately. I want to find a secondhand unit.
