In this episode Chris talks about the use of the legacy notetakers such as the Braille Sense and BrailleNote Apex on the new web site. Unfortunately the browser in these devices is Internet Explorer 6 and we just can’t support them. On the Braille Sense for example it says invalid SSL certificate and closes the browser. The site has the latest certified installed.
