Hi,
Yes, and I still have two manual typewriters around here along with several
varities of slates and a Braille writer. No way am I giving them up no
matter how much I appreciate and use these Braille devices. I'd hate to be
without any of this stuff. We certainly need to be thankful for the things
we have and enjoy.

This is one of those situations where I have to say that a slate and
stylus or a Braille writer are the thing. No technology will always
work, and just as sighted people still rely on pens and pencils when all
else fails, we must rely on technology that will usually work, like
slates and/or Braille writers. Certainly, I understand frustration, my
Braillenote crashed on three separate occasions, and I lost most of my
data the first time. I purchased a cf card, so the next two crashes
weren't nearly as devastating. However, no matter what kind of
technology you have, failure is lurking, whether we know it or not.
Look at it this way, you could have been a resident of New Orleans, kind
of makes a dying Braillenote pale in comparison, eh?

My BrailleNote was gotten for me in 2001. The Braille display is much
worse thushy, it's gone! I mean, I can't even get the exercise option to
work in support mode. Looks like I will have to send it in now. And I
don't know how
i'll manage with Math! I just don't know! I have no backup.
