Good morning list,

Well, you experienced folks won't think this is such a big deal, but as a new 
user, I have just gotten wireless to work. I found it works best with an 
un-encrypted open connection (yes, I know the hazards, but for now, i've only 
got one access point turned on and the only thing accessing it is the 
braille+.) At any rate, I just managed to synch the time and date on the 
Internet. It's no big thing to all of you experienced users out there, but when 
it worked, it dawned on me how truly amazing this thing is! It's such a little 
thing, and I know the Icon is even smaller, but it went out to the Internet, 
and just think, only a few years ago, you had to have a lap top to do what this 
thing just did. 

Next step: I plan to get the podcast feeds .opml file into the machine and 
start grabbing podcasts.

So, all you new users out there, take heart! Just start at the top of the 
manual (it's in an HTML file in the mobile manager folder under programs, in 
Windows; I think it's also on the braille+ itself.)

Catching the bug!!!! and enjoying it!!!!! You were right, Robert Carter--I am 
starting to love this thing!,

Mary
