Hello Listers, As somebody pointed out, any substantial waterproofing of the
Braillenote family would almost certainly add considerably to its cost, with no
additional facilities gained. Therefore, might I humbly suggest a very
low-tech provisional solution. Consider the ubiquitous polythene bag of the
type which most sumermarkets give away for you to carry your purchases. If you
intend to expose your Braillenote to possible saturation, just pop it in to one
of these bags and seal it with a rubber-band. Short Of throwing it over Niagra
falls, it will keep it dry. I find the speech can still be heard clearly and
the Braille, though slightly less sharp, is still readable. Of course I
wouldn't like to read a book this way, but for short information, I find it
acceptable, and a heck of a lot cheaper than some more drastic measures. Long
live the plastic-bag. oh yes, first make sure the bag is completely empty and
clean.
Don Cooper.
