Well it won't print or emboss documents and it doesn't have its own internal
modem.
I have one on the way so can't really tell you any more than what i have
heard. I have the Bn 32 qwerty typewriter keyboard and would have happily
stuck with that but I am dividing my time between Cincinnati, Ohio and
Scottsdale, Arizona and with the way the airline industry has begun to
crunch its services and space and rip its customers off left and right, I
need something small which will fit in a travel bag, thuseliminating the
need to carry a backpack and a travel bag onboard the aircraft.
But, the bn has been everywhere with me over the last 3 years, including the
top of Diamondhead Crater in Hawaii last summer.

Hi Mary Ellen
Well, I've been on both those lists at one time or another. Smile.
The BK sounds interesting. You said it doesn't have some of the
functionality of the BN standard products. What might it be missing, if I
can ask?

Hi Gene!
I have seen your name ever since i started being on e-mail lists. I
believe you and I were on the Jaws-llite list or the Blindcook list, one.
I would suggest you get a Braille Note Pk for the simple reason that its
ports are more in tune with today's technology, you would have a much
faster processorand you would have bluetooth capabilities. THe Pkdoes not
have all of the features of the standard Braille Note, however, its speed
and ability to connect with the machines of today some of whom do not
have serial and parallel ports make it a good investment. Also it has the
18 cell Braille Display and runs about $4995 in the United States.
Just something else to think about and Oh yes/! The size, it is small
enough to fit in a suit pocket or a hand bag so give that one a think, it
is kind of the something inbetween the standard bn 18 and bn 32.
The downside of the standard Bn unless this new upgrade has rectified
this is that they have no usb ports on them thus you have to go dig up
older printers unless you would do as I do and download your material
onto your pc and print from there.
