Shouldn't you be in school studying for a math or physics midterm? Prove that these specs are inaccurate. The list is the perfect place for debate on these things. We come to decisions from you guys who are so quick to have the answer for everything. Let's do the comparison out in the open. Is this opinion or fact. You know what they say about opinions. Maybe you'd like to weigh in on the new 12 cell and 40 cell braille displays that Humanware has come out with that wer shown at ATIA last week. I believe that these displays are call Connect. Maybe you'd like to weigh in on that Joe. I say let the free flowing ideas go forth. This list is supposed to be educational. You say these specs are inaccurate. Your welcome to write me publicly on the list or privately off the list and prove your alledged fact or opinion. You think you know but really--do you? I imagine that some of us have had a few things to prior to todays activities. So come Joe. Come out and give us your thought or opinion on these specs on why your opinion should be fact. The best every day.
