Richard's right. My braille'nspeak2000 was the most stable reliable
adaptive technology I think I have ever used. I never used a lot of those
programs but they were out there.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Introducing Utility Pack for KeySoft
What is actually more sad than funny about the various April Fools
messages
shared on the list today is that the "old" Blazie Braille N Speak had a
function built in that handled Fahrenheit-Celsius temperature and
metric-standard weights and measures conversions of several kinds, as well
as a
basic interpreter that allowed users with a little knowledge of the basic
language to write programs and games that ran on those old Blazie
notetakers.
They also had a software developers kit that allowed more sophisticated
and
powerful programs to be written in the C language on a pc and compiled to
run
on the Blazie units. There were at least two finance programs written for
keeping check account records and more. There were programs that could
calculate complex interest. There were programs that allowed one to create
and
emboss graph type charts. There was a utility pack that did several useful
functions like encrypt files and more. We had those and many more programs
available years ago on what is now considered to be a primative hardware
and
operating system platform. Humanware, are you listening?
