Well, I wasn't going to discuss this here, seeing as no one else has brought it up; but, in the end, I just couldn't let the fact that HumanWare have stopped making the BrailleNote PK go by without saying a thing. Now, before I go further, as Mike May mentioned over on the gps-talkusers list, the PK is still very much being supported, thus folks already having the unit don't have to worry about it being maintained.
At any rate, although the PK and I have pretty much come to the end of the line, so to speak, it was practically my constant companion for the better part of four years. For, its compact size, along with its eighteen cell Braille display, not to mention the Sendero GPS option, made the perfect traveling device for me in almost every situation. The unit could easily be tucked out of the way when not needed, I could have the convenience of speech when I chose to use it, or I could opt for the more quiet and discrete use of the Braille when the situation warranted. Although I could never seem to trust its flash disk to stay available as it should, the PK was a very wonderful device when it worked correctly. It was the first device of its kind that I can recall, and I never did regret making the purchase. ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
