Sharon, In this case, I'd just save up for the PK instead of sinking money on a braillenote mpower or classic. It'll be cheaper to wait. then when she has saved up, she can buy the PK and learn or refresh her sills on the PK. It even has a learn mode whereas you press a key, it will tell you what that key or combination of key presses does. I'll be willing to bet she'll love her PK more than any other unit if she ever sees one! Isaac
