Roger, I'm sorry I keep getting on this soapbox, but I have to correct you in one small area. The BN family *does* work as a speech synthesizer for JFW, but only on systems running Windows 98 or ME. This isn't helpful for a lot of people because WinXP and Win2000 have taken over most of the market, but you might be surprised at the number of people still using Win98 or ME. Also, the BN works extremely well as a Braille display with JFW, under all flavors of Windows that I am aware of. And, unlike the Pacmate, you don't have to take the BN apart to have instant Braille. This is good info for all of us who don't have the resources to dump Jaws and the time to learn how to use WindowEyes.

I am a freedom Scientific dealer along with a gw micro dealer and visuaide and pulse data, or shall I say Humanware dealer, and FS will not support their competition like the braillenote as a remote synthesizer, since their own product the pac mate does not do that. Window-eyes has been outstanding supporting and coming up wiht new ways of their screen reader supporting the braillenote family of products, so if you want to have your braillenote or voicenote work very well with a screen reader, dump Jaws and get on board with GW Micro's and Window-eyes.
