Hi, Paula. On advice from some others on this list, I went to wallmart over
the weekend. They have two or three casses that one uses to hold these new
portable dvd players. Guess what? They are the same size as a braille note.
I bought one of the smaller or thinner ones for around 12 dollars. It fits
my bn and has an outside zipper case to hold my charger if necessary and
flash cards, etc. It has a nice carry handle as well as a shoulder strap.

I use my BN for choir all the time. I strap it on my waist, and read away.
So what if people think I'm feeling my stomach!!!!!!!!
I've also used it with a music stand, playing an instrument called a Qchord
with my left hand and reading words with my right. How cool is that!!
By the way, just for everyone's information, I sent my BN back even though
it started working after it's "coffee break" just to be sure everything's
okay. Fortunately I was able to back up all files and translate the files I
needed to print into Microsoft word before I returned the unit. I haven't
heard back yet and probably won't for a few days, so I'm going through a
painful BN withdrawal. That earlier, brailless note taker's better than
nothing, but I guess a pencil and paper is better than no computer for
people who can see, too. If there is damage done by the coffee, I'm
prepared to pay for it. The spill was an accident, the fact that I carried
the BN on my shoulder with the cover open was my negligence. Again I say,
let this be a lesson to us all. I guarantee I'll keep that case closed when
I'm not actually working from now on, and will very possibly keep the BN in
a little lap top case as well.
God bless!
Paula Jordan who's anxiously waiting the return package from Pulsedata

Hi, Peggy. I tried using my braille lite 18 in choir once. One of the
members laughed and told me I looked like R2D2. My wife said; no. He looks
more like C3P O. My braille note qt is larger. I suppose it would look
pretty funny with a keyboard protruding from my stomach<grin>.
But I used to use my blt all the time. Usually, I didn't hang it around my
neck, but just held it below my waist in my right hand and read and
advanced with my right. I don't think this would work with my qt as it is
so much larger.
