Hi Chris; A lot of people call their m-powers their PDA for the blind. I usually just say it is a note taker with speech and a Braille display. If they ask any more, I will say it is like a PDA or like your paulm pilet. The few that have seen my m-power and my KNFB reader are intreaged with them. People even love to see my Braille display and Jaws on my computer. Show others your equipment and let the sighted know how we function in the world. Just because we are blind, we are still equal.

However, I find it a problem to describe it to them without them understanding. Anyone got any tips please? I can't blame them for being curious; it's just a fantastic piece of machinery, so no wonder. Thanks! Chris Hallsworth Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group!
