Dear Maryellen, Could you explain a little more about this Smith Carona Braille typewriter or braille writer that was made before 1930 please? I'd like to know a little more about it. Do you still have it? I only live 65 miles away from Cortland, New York. The Smith Carona company is a shadow of its former self. I would like to know a little more about this because I'd like to acquire one either for the office or the home. I remember the Hall Braille writer that came before the Perkins Braille Writer. Whatever information you could forward me would be great. Thank you. I like my Mpower also. There's a lot to learn.

I call Starbucks a cafe. I haven't actually taken the mpower to a cafe but I have taken the pk and it really rocks. The young people today don't understand why someone my age raves so about this machine. My first Braille Writer was a used Smith Carona Braille Typewriter. That machine was a refined Haul which was manufactured cerca 1930. My Parents felt I had to earn the trustworthiness to own a Perkins, and I didn't have one of those machines until junior high school. So, to have a device which lets you write as well as carry your books is certainly something. It is also too cool to simply be able to download that book you want and not to have to carry tons of those big volumes. I never went to graduate school but the mpower certainly would have raised my grade point average a couple of points in undergrad school. Thanks for the compliment too. Happy New Year.
