Hi everyone I sure am glad I did not get the quarty BN now. How do you remember all the differences between a computer and the qt key board. Memorizing one keyboard at a time is enough. Why didn't they make it the same as the computer. It is hard enough to get used to the slant of the BT key board. Do you have any idea why it was made like that. I have been brailleing since second grade and now this! That is a long time, 19 years in the government. Bye for now. Good Luck all of you in your new classes.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you're talking about.
