RE: [Braillenote] The cost of Braillenotes

[Catherine Close]

        Several days ago I asked if a voicenote could be used with another 
braille display.  My purpose in asking was that I have an Alva Satellite 
purchased for my work by rehab, and I was wondering if I could use the two 
together.  It wasn't meant to provoke the hostile response I got.  After, 
there is a lot of difference in the price.  I personally love using 
Braille, but was just checking all of the options.  I missed my display so 
much that now I am bringing it home more often.  Thanks.  Cathy At 08:14 PM

The cost is steep, especially if you are like me and now have two
braille notes, but it became a necessity.  First, after pricing several
displays that I might be able to use at work it seems that I'd get the
most bang for my buck by getting a second unit, and now, of course, the
up side is that my original, a unit that has been used every day of its
life with me since January 23, 2001 and was indispensable can now go for
a much needed cleaning and upgrade, it is working just fine, but has
never had these things done because I just could not have been without
it for many days.
In the end, since I wanted a braille display for my office computer and
the organization I work for isn't willing to provide more than speech,
we figured that getting a BN 32-cell was the best option, it is mine, I
have paid for them both, once by using my Discover Card at an
exorbitantant rate of interest and this time because my husband planned
it into a home equity line of credit we are using to pay off other
high-interest cards.

Yes, the cost is high, but, to me it is the best thing going, more
usable than a plain display would be.

, I have no regrets about owing my soul to the technology store!

Hi Terri

Thanks for the message I thought everyone was just ignoring my comments
but I would not blame them. I feel calmer about it now. I love using my
Braille note and would not really swap it I just felt a bit angry that
it cost so much last year and then I have got another quite large amount
of money to find to upgrade it. But as I said I have calmed down
now...until the next time.

Thanks again


Regards Diane
