Dear Lisa, Thanks for telling me about the PC PROGRAM.
I must tell you and all BN listers that I cannot use a PC. I never really learned how. I never used a PC wile in school. I started using a Braille N Speak, after that ow used a Braille Lite and after that the BN. I hope the BN technology gets better and better. I don't want to learn how to use a PC. I've gotten this far with out a PC. Many people have told me to learn a PC, it's better than a note taker, but I just can't get the hang of it. "I LOVE BRAILLE!" The BRAILLE key board is also very important to me. I'm willing to try many things in my life but a PC is where I draw the line. Sorry for going on and on, that's probably way more than you wanted to know about me. (SMILE!) Frank M. Hernandez. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Lisa Kozlik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Braillenote List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 11:13:48 -0600 >Subject: [Braillenote] BrailleNote as a TTY >Frank, >As a deafblind BrailleNote user, I would also love to use my BN as a TTY >and/or face to face communication device.
