I have a PC at home, and one at work. i bought the BN strictly for mobil use. i bought in in the summer of 2000, so a lot has happened since then, but the reason I picked it was because it was the only note taker that did POP Email, so I could use it with my regular ISP. I also like the crisp feel of the dots on the Braille display. The Braillenote is the perfect solution for what I need. It appears that there are many on this list, and in other places who want the BN to have all of the functionality of a regular PC. For those folks, I would recommend the purchase of a laptop PC such as the Laptalk, which combines all of the power and functionality of the PC with a full fledged powerful screen reader in a compact footprint. IRTI also sells a PC called the Zero Footprint, which is a full fledged PC built into a case the size of a standard PC keyboard, and it sells for $1000. A Laptalk or Zero Footprint with one of the compact 40 Cell Braille displays sold by either FS or Sighted Electronics would provide a powerful portable solution for about the same price as a BN 32 or equivilant Packmate.
