Hi, Dean,
You're making me gring. The pity that so many so-called special education
experts don't really understand. The more and better the technology, the
more crucial good Braille skills become. I use my Braille writer for
individual labelling purposes mostly now, but it is very nearly a
collector's item, begin 51 years old and a bit more. My oldest slate is 56
years old. It is so well made though that you wouldn't know it. These
things work when the electricity is out, but I surely would not want to
have to do without such things as the Braille Note. I could make a long
list of electricity-eathing devices.
Cordially,
Evelyn

Howdy, Richard. Boy, as a slate and stylus collector and user, do I ever
have to agree with this one! I use my slate and stylus on a regular basis.
As a matter of fact, I now have about fifteen slates and I don't know how
many styluses. Is that a word? Anyway, I love the slate and stylus, and I
am only thirty-two years of age, so contrary to popular belief and
sentiment, the slate and stylus are still very much alive. I would prefer
them over a Perkins any day of the week, and I understand that nobody will
agree with me. Just my opinion. Long live the BrailleNote, and thanks be
to God on High for the slate and stylus!
