Oh, what I wouldn't give to have a backup BrailleNote. On the same day I discovered my BN's latest failure, I also found out that the Millennium I use at work had utterly and completely died. I was really sad because, not only isn't it mine, but I was planning to use it as a backup while my BN was in the hospital. Oh well, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

When I compare this unit to my older one, I'm amazed at the difference. By the way, I love the new Braille display. I was a little bit doubtful when Jonathan assured me that this Braille display would be better than the older one but it's true. The cursor routing buttons are more responsive and overall, I like the new unit even better than I did the older one. But I'm happy to have both BrailleNotes, and when I need to send this newer one back to California, I'll have the older one as a backup.
