saves things in Open Document and they cannot be decoded at reception.  I
have Gmail, I can attach a Journal article/item to Gmail (or Yahoo mail) but
it will not transfer in readable language....it arrives only in code.
I, like most users, am not code-savvy.  I dont dare work in Terminal or any
activity where my ineptness could cause a breakdown I couldnt correct.  I
dont dare try to update to a newer build on my own.
The 3rd-worlders may not tell you about this problem because they haven't
gotten this far yet, but they will.
You have discussed putting a toolbar in Browse.  That would be wonderful,
not only for a search bar, but for items like Save and Send Link.  One could
save individual pages, not just the entire Browse activity for the day.
Eventually Tinymail would work if it transferred in the same language as
sent.  In simplest form the problem now is how to get data in plain English
from the Journal to Gmail to another computer.  Perhaps this would not be
difficult to resolve.
Appreciatively,
Val Stansfield

Thanks for all the input.&nbsp; We are exited to be a small part of this great movement!&nbsp; But I dont believe our problem has been fully understood.&nbsp; I see it is not only first-world users that will access the internet.&nbsp; You are talking about schoolservers in Nepal etc. getting the kids online.&nbsp; This is wonderful.&nbsp; But the 3rd world kids will have the same problem we first worlders are having....inability to send webpages - or written articles, or drawings - across the net to others.&nbsp; Or to receive them.&nbsp; I&#39;m sure the children will want this function once they are adept.&nbsp; <br>
