[nabs-l] what's going on with the NFB site? I can't access it!

[Humberto Avila]

Hello Chris,

Something must be wrong with your Braille Note. Just as I finished reading
this email message, I quickly pressed windows+R to get to my run dialog box
and typed in www.nfb.org. My internet explorer came up, and the page loaded
ordinarily, correctly, and without flaws of any kind. Try pressing reset on
your Braille note, see if this works. 
Also if the problem persists, try pressing reset with dots 1-2-3 keys held
down together until you hear the Humanware music. This reset clears out the
memory, and any ram used up by your files and programs. If this reset does
not solve the problem, then try doing a hard reset. This reset is design for
wiping out the contents of the keysoft system disk modified by the user,
which means it will delete anything that you have saved there, so you should
be careful on when to do it. However, this type of reset also eliminates all
your temporary internet files, saved cookies, and downloaded data and
passwords for KeyWeb, the internet browser. This reset involves holding down
dots 4-5-6 and then pressing reset while still holding those keys. After
hearing the official Braille Note Humanware music, release them. You should
now be fine of any errors on your internet web visits. 

I know, this used to happen with mine, and I even got memory usage errors. 

Hope this helps you.

Humberto

Hi all,

For some reason, I can't access the National Federation of the 
Blind (NFB) site, nfb.org, with my BrailleNote.  Whenever I go to 
it, it comes up with a "enter network password" dialog, like the 
ones that appear when you log into NLS Web Braille.  Username and 
password? Um...  I don't have any username or password to access 
the NFB site, and have never needed one.  So what's going on? Is 
there something going on with the NFB site or is it a problem 
with my BrailleNote? Can someone on the BrailleNote list test 
this and make sure it's not just me? Thanks!

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
