Hi Joseph: Thank you so much for posting the article. I think what it comes down to is that one needs to decide for themselves what they want to use the device for, and what the skill level is. I know for myself that I could easily move from the Braille Note to the Pacmate. If I wanted too, but for one thing I'm happy with the Braille Note and what it does for me, and for another thing I don't have the money to simply move from one piece of technology to another. The best thing is that we as people who are blind have choices based on our needs which hasn't always been true. Finally, there needs to be places to go and people to talk to if people need some help deciding what will work for them. Buying a notetaker is a big investment and people who are blind need to have al the information they can before making the commitment, regardless of whether the person is paying for it or not.
