Re: [Braillenote] Future of BrailleNote hardware

[Steve Thacker]

Hi folks, whilst I agree that a USB port would be nice, if the pcmcia 
slot was removed, the micro drives I possess wouldn't be operable 
because they don't fit into any pc card reader. Also my Ambicom 
wireless card goes into the pcmcia slot only. As an unemployed person 
who, due to my disabilities cannot work, I don't have the finances to 
buy a new machine with lots of new expensive hardware. To have a new 
USB port fitted on the BN BT or QT would cost over a thousand pounds 
and you would be without your machine for some length of time, and we 
know how louzy Pulsedata/Humanware are about fixing or adapting machinery!

Cheers, Steve
