The other thing to be considered here is that many people are just not
comfortable using a PC; so a Braille note or voice note is a better choice
for that individual.
Also, as was stated in another message, a PC doesn't necessarily come with
a
Braille display unless purchased separately.
I bought my BN strictly because of its Braille display.
If I hadn't been interested in the Braille output, I would have purchased
a
laptop.
But I wanted the ability to perform tasks without speech or ear buds while
listening with the other ear.
Since I comprehend better by reading I also choose Braille.
For me, I wanted Braille.

Hi Bob,
I just wanted to add something to your comments. It's all well and good
for
people to say things would work better if done on a PC, but that simply
doesn't help those who, for whatever reason, don't have one. Most people
on
this list already have a BN, so to say that a PC would have been the
better
choice is just not realistic. To tell a person they should have striven
to
get a PC instead of their hard-earned BN or VN is, in my not-so-humble
opinion, a bit of a slap in the face. Besides, PC's don't come with
Braille
displays, and BN's do. This is probably the number one reason why most of
us have a BN, along with the intuitive interface and the portability.
Just some more thoughts from under the rock of the peanut gallery, I'll go
away now!

Hi, folks: I've read some recent comments on this list, which seem to
imply
that anyone who strictly use a BN, and not a PC, is foolish. Well, I
don't
mean to be rude, but I think those comments are insensitive and elitist.
I'm sorry, but not everyone, for various reasons, has a lot of adaptive
equipment.
We usually get one or two shots at the brass ring in a lifetime.
Many of us have chosen the BN, because of its portability, and because of
its functionality. To us, it's more than just aa neat little tool; it's
everything. People who seem to say that we're wrong to expect a lot out
of
it are wrong and mis-informed. The fact is, we know exactly what to
expect,
and Humanware agrees with our high expectations. That's why they came out
with the M-power. Those of you who have a number of pieces of equipment
should thank God you have them, and not look down your noses at those of
us
who don't. By the way, this absolutely does not apply to most on this
list;
just a couple. Comments like the ones I read earlier make me want to
unsubscribe. But, I won't.
We're all in the same boat on this list, and we shouldn't even imply that
folks who don't have as much equipment are somehow inferior. If I'm
over-reacting, I'm sorry. God bless. Bob and Maxy-wax
