Hi Gerry, will be interesting to see if there are any PK users on the 
list. I can tell you though that they are going out the door like hot 
cakes. Now admittedly, they are a little bit more expensive than your 
average hot cake, but then again, they last longer and are less prone to 
breakage.

I am at Closing the Gap at present in Minneapolis, where they have 
wireless access in the exhibit hall. People have been gob smacked with the 
speed of the browser which we've been demonstrating through a very good 
fast wireless Internet connection. There were audible gasps from the 
audience at our presentation yesterday when Mike Gibson showed how fast 
retrieving titles from Bookshare was with the BrailleNote PK. Oh and he 
also showed that he has his wife's phone number in his address list. Fancy 
having to put your wife's phone number in your address list, but he 
assures me she has just changed cell providers and I guess this is a good 
excuse.

Anyway, we are absolutely delighted with the take-up of the PK in such a 
very short time. While I note the comments here about the keyboard, and I 
certainly don't deny for a second that it is small and an acquired taste, 
keep in mind that the single over-riding objective of the PK is 
portability. What at first appears strange can easily become familiar as 
you use it. I go at least as fast on the PK as I do on the BrailleNote 32. 
I certainly agree though that for prolonged use a BrailleNote 32 or 18 is 
more comfortable.
