Hey, listers, I'm happy to say that, as reported, downloading books from the "new" site is as simple as ever with scripting disabled. (Just got one a few minutes ago with absolutely no complications.) Note to Rajmund and others: For a long time I thought that it was necessary to leave it enabled to get full details and features of websites. It took a lot more slow, or hung-up, sessions with Apex web-browsing than it should have to figure out that _disabling scripting almost always streamlines things in every way. Hindsight, as always, is 20/20. (Although, as I'm sure some of you know, this is very specific to the situation and the particular website; some of them flat won't display half the download options or links unless scripting is not disabled. Generally, this seems to be "more the exception than the rule.") I'd like to thank Joseph for his excellent, specific, well-thought-out responses to questions about resets and the whole operating-system question in general. I'm not nearly as perplexed about the shortcomings of the Apex as a lot of you on the list. I think this has everything to do with the fact that I'm so much older-I had only a Perkins Brailler for writing for most of my life, and I learned typing on a _manual typewriter, which I myself find almost impossible to imagine! So I'm pretty much blown away, still, by all of the neat wireless things the Apex allows me to do, particularly downloading books and music (I use a computer and the Apex daily at work, but am always in favor of anything that allows me to get material directly onto the BrailleNote without involving another device; for instance, I had no interest in BARD until they removed the necessity of my going through the roundabout process of using a computer for something that I always thought should be simpler.) Having said all that: as I'm sure you'all have noticed, an increasing number of websites have features that are partially, or totally, inaccessible to the Apex due to its "ancient browser" (the actual wording of little warnings that appear at the tops of pages, prompting me to do upgrades that I obviously can't do because of the nature of .exe. applications, etc.) I would write a testimonial to all of the things about the Apex that I love and use, but I don't see a way around the urgent need, and "sooner rather than later", to somehow upgrade to _something newer and more flexible than IE6! Yes, I know this is not an easy fix. I would rather it is not based on going to something Android-based, but that's my own prejudice, and I'm sure has a lot to do with being such a voracious Braille reader spoiled by the size and portability of the Apex display. Certainly the type and versatility of all kinds of apps just grows exponentially, so that something I can't even imagine will come along that's more straightforward and inclusive. Whatever it turns out to be, I hope work has already started on it. Andy
