Friends: I am asking this question because, I don't know the answer. I use a Braillenote. I do not ordinarily use the speech. In fact, the only time I do use the speech is when I am working with a student who is not a Braille user. Since I can do everything on the Braillenote using Braille, I would like some of you who are deaf blind to explain what you feel is bad about the Braille support. I am not saying that anyone is right or wrong here; I am saying that I can do web browsing, email, word processing, the planner, and the calculator without using speech. Therefore, I am frankly curious as to why deaf blind users feel that the Braille support found in the Braillenote isn't good. Ladies and gentleman, this is not a message intended to flame anyone, I simply want to understand. Thanks.

That was what started me thinking about the upgrades. (Manyh who are deaf-blind are saying the PacMateis more for them than the M-Power. If they can find funds, I guess that is the way they will go. GIven our small size, I doubt that will hage any bearing on what HW does with future upgrades. Since I already own an M-Power I'll just have to hope I can find a solution, so I have good braille support.) Take care. KC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann K.
