Maybe I'm just a nutcase, but I thought RFB&D membership's been free
to students for a couple years now?

Dear NABS:
Just to setthe record straight, memberships remain free for individual 
students who qualify for service because of disability.
Please let me know if you have other questions. You also can emailme

Annemarie, How do they define student? Part time? Degree seeking ones
qualify?
Also how do you determine who is a student and who is not.

No I've had it for years; maybe four years; but I usually just write on it
and know enough to get by.
I'd love to have upgraded technology to the Apex, but its too expensive to
purchase privately; rehab
buys equipment if you are full time student only.

Are you new at using the BrailleNote?

Thanks Nicole. So many document options and I'm not sure what all mean and
what is the best.
I'll try keyword braille then.

You actually want the keyword Braille instead of BRF. BRF does not save
place markers. Also, single carriage returns are often lost during
translation to BRF.

If I'm not mistaking, .brf which is a plain braille format should be
available on mPower, but keyword braille format should be good as well.

No RFB has been free to students for a few years because of the Dept of
education funding.

Hi Students,

I am trying to get my gmail set up so that I can check email from my APEX. I
have set up numerous email accounts through outlook and so forth, so I am
familiar with doing that. My question is what are the settings? It seems I
have all the info right, but I get an error. If anyone else has done this,
please help! Its greatly appreciated!
