Beth,
Yes, you are right. The keys are smaller, and please realize that I had
only a very short time to try it, but I thought I could get used to
brailling on them relatively easily. I had only perhaps three or four
minutes to try it out at a conference and that certainly is not enough to
really have a good amount of experience with the keys. I liked its very
small size. That is one of the drawbacks in my mind of the Braille Note
and the Pac Mate. I still use a very small Braille N Speak to carry around
with me at conferences and such because it fits in the side pocket of my
jacket....and it is extremely sturdy...I've dropped it perhaps ten times in
fifteen years and it always comes up working like a charm. Obviously it has
tremendous drawbacks and is no longer even close to the up-to-date
technology that we are using now. I use it for only really simple things
like taking notes and I have a "home made" address and telephone listing
in it.

Gaylen, how did the keys feel to you? I know this is subjective but how did
they feel size wise, since they are so small--did you feel cramped re either
spacing or size? To you, could you have written for a long time? I am
looking forward to the spongey quality Jonathan mentioned, he said the keys'
touch is much different than that of the BN, which was too stiff for me,
which can sometimes irritate my nerve problem in my arms. Thanks. Beth
