Hi Terri,
I cast affermatively with respect to your proposal that PulseData should
keep these KeyNote/Braille companions rolling to the end. It always seems
most ironic to me that such equipment would, in the long run, have suited
me and my preferences for a half-and-half measure of ease-of-use with
advancement better than current BrailleNotes. One of the things those
devices could do is get you a DOS prompt, and the immeasurable
opportunities this presented at the time were countless. I should
certainly have liked to keep mine, but it was only on loan to me. As for
shell access - hey, the shell is my home! Development for the platform
was as simple as development for any DOS or Win32 console - making the
companion speak was as little as using the printf statement if Master
Touch happened to be running, which you almost always did. Movement to
Windows CE, in retrospect, caused in my eyes greater loss than benefit.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
