Well, thumbs up to the new displays for Mike and myself! We love it! It feels really good - the best we've ever felt - and it's really quiet! BTW: We have no BrailleNote with which to compare but have used a number of Braille displays with other equipment.
Choice is yours, Will! -- Carol [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Roberts Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 12:15 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Got My M-power Today Hi That's up to you really. It's a very good deal when doing the transplant as if you're on 6.1 the upgrade is just over £1100. also, if you're on 5X it's just over £1200. so it's your choice.. The Braille quality is markedly better now and the display doesn't click half as much when moving. it's also lighter. we also replaced the rubber routing keys with plastic, but I guess it's up to you if the new Braille justifies the price. BTW you could use the Braille sensitivity option in mPower to cut down the clicking on your current display.
