Rhonda: Although it might have seemed as though I was putting down Alex that is simply not the case. Ideas were not the problem I had with his post as a technical person I would never frown on that. The problem I have is and was a general one. Many people on this list have BrailleNotes for vary specific reasons aside from the fact that we like them or need Braille.
However Screen readers are now available for off the shelf PDA's cell phones are becoming more an more accessible. HumanWare has a product that can do a lot of what Alex would like except it doesn't have Braille in it. One of the problems I have personally with this list is that the BrailleNote family is always turning up to not have this or that I think we are all guilty of that and in many cases maybe those needs could be better met with different technology. Personally I wish someone would come out with a fully accessible notebook with a build-in Braille display. I also wish that the cost of displays would come down so that those of us who need and want them could afford them. The wish list goes on and on and somewhere somebody needs to meet the needs of as many customers as possible or they don't stay in business. A note for Alex you didn't need to apologize and if I was a little to hard I apologize for that. I work in an environment where accessibility is taken vary seriously for all disabilities not just blind and we support multiple handicaps ups wrong word.
