Frank, I'm late on this, but used to feel like you my brl n speak then braille lite mostly got me through college but i think that there is a lot more a pc can offer than a bn and that will get to be more so if the connectivity stays like it is with serial and paralell neither of which i use much but they are going away. The bn is great and i'm for the most part very happy with mine so far, but am glad i have a pc for what it can do to. Why not learn, you'd have the best of them both that way. There will probably just be somethings a computer can do that a bn cannot just my thoughts. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank M Hernandez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Lisa Kozlik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Braillenote List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 2:02 PM Subject: re: [Braillenote] BrailleNote as a TTY
