That would be nice if it was still used. I know that it probably
uses up a lot of space, but it would still
be great!

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] the MoonLite
I think its sad that moon isn't used more and that no company has
made a
moon writer. It has so much potential for people who loose their
sight
and cannot learn braille and also for people with cognitive
problems
that make it hard to learn braille. The main plus for moon is it
is much
closer to print in shape and therefore is an intermediary between
braille and print.

Peter's April Fool joke reminded me of the time someone recorded
a
notice in an audio magazine for the blind saying Freedom
Scientific was
coming out with a notetaker called the MoonLite which would
allow blind
people to read and write Moon Type. The notice was so well done
that
some people actually called up FS to find out whether or not it
was
true! I found the whole thing to be hilarious, but Freedom
Scientific
didn't find it funny.
For those who have never heard of it, Moon Type is a
raised-letter
alphabet system for the blind. It was a read-only system. It
isn't used
here in the U.S., but the UK still uses it. It was popular with
people
who had lost their sight late in life and didn't know braille.
