Sounds cool! I was curious. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Seven Williams Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 1:49 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] The Braille Companion and the Keynote Companion
The Keynote Companion was an early 90's notetaker running KeySoft on a cute little computer about the size of the keyboard portion of the Voicenote QTI think.. I can measure Jay's if you need details. It had a screen that also acted as a keyboard cover which allowed those who could to see what was going on. It had funny little tiny keys about half the size of those on the current voicenote qt. Its functioning was similar to today's classic devices but lacked some of the features. I rarely used Jay's but he used to use it to write Braille Music among other things. I know it had a word processor, address book, and I think appointment calendar and calculator. I don't know for sure what else. If you like I'll plug it in and see what it does in more detail but it's basicly about a 93ish version of a notetaker running that era's version of Keysoft. It had an external battery pack that could be attached for portable use, and I think an external disk drive might be around here somewhere as well. I'd guess the Braillenote Companion was a braille keyboarded version of the same device although I never actually saw one that I can recall. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
