You can buy screenless laptops from www.beyondsight.com for about the same
price as a braille note. For a little more they'll give you more memory, a
bigger hard drive, and a laptop cd burner. Comes also with window eyes a
scanner and openbook.
The website can be accessed with the braille note.

>>There is only so much that can be put into a, in this case, new release
>>of KeySoft due to a need to frequently bring new functionality to

>>We brought a lot of new features to the market that it had requested in

>>Obviously, priorities for what should be included in the next version of

>>In conclusion Andy, I'm not trying to take away from, or criticise,
>>what you have said, for I certainly realise, as a BrailleNote user
