Hi Darrell, Considering your extensive background in access technology, and your grounding in NFB philosophy, i have difficulty understanding your comments of the last few days. As one who has worked in the access tech field for years, you certainly know why access tech for the blind costs more than the technology used by sighted folks. And as one who has been through an NFB rehab center, you know all about alternative techniques. For a sighted person, mobility equals a car. Blind folks have to find other ways to get around. Thus there is no reason why a PDA for the blind has to look or act like a sighted person's PDA, as long as it gets the job done. If you really want to emulate a sighted person that bad, then you know which device to get. If your concern is getting your work done in an efficient and blind friendly environment, then you know which device to get. Personally, I have a PC at home, and one at work. I use my note taker when I am mobil. it is not necessary that my note taker resemble my computer, or a sighted person's PDA for that matter. I have seen demonstrations of how you can instantly transfer data between the Packmate and a sighted person's PDA, and have even been told that guys and girls can exchange phone numbers this way, but in my 54 years on this earth, no girl has yet asked me to beam her my phone number, and my wife wouldn't let it happen anyway. (SMILE)!
