You make a very good point, Kathleen. I'd love to be able to at least have
braille access to my computer's bios. I hate having to call some sighted
help just to change a setting. With the BN, none of that is necessary, and
you have instant access when you switch the unit on.

Hi Andy and List,
With regard to your comment that it is better for to have a PC than BN, I
have two questions:
First, assuming you rely mostly on speech, would you feel the same way if
you had to use braille alone?
In this regard, one reason I LOVE th BN is that, when I turn it on, the
display is ALIVE and ready to go!
Can you say the same for a PC? God knows how often I've turned on a PC and
waited, in vain, for the Screenreader and braillel display to come alive.
Have you experienced the same?
Can lyou honestly say dealing with Microsoft and the every changing WIndows
environment is as easy to deal with as KS/Windows CE environment?
Maybe you're a PC guru, but for some of us the BN is the answer to many
prayer! (I've been calling it my "dream machine" since I got my hands on
it!)
KC
