Richard, At the risk of incurring wrath from some on the list, I totally agree with you.
This whole subject of "obtaining a braillenote" is really one of obtaining adaptive equipment; it could be a braillenote, a pacmate, a perkins brailler, or whatever. It really does belong on a more general blindness-related list as this list is really for those using the braillenote or those who may wish to have a braillenote and desire answer to questions specifically pertaining to the operation and use of the braillenote family of products. At least that's my impression of the list, along with my reason for joining and staying on it. If there are technical questions or "how to" questions in last night's and todays mail, they've certainly gotten lost in all the messages related to obtaining adaptive equipment. Just putting the word "braillenote" in the subject does not necessarily mean it's really for this list.

However, I think this topic needs to go off-list. This list doesn't concern how to obtain funding or rehabilitation services. This list is designed to assist BN/VN users in effectively using their products. I do not point this out to anger or frustrate anyone, I simply believe that this discussion is far more complex than it sounds and that this is not the place to continue it.

Well first, you have to have an idea to present your case. For example for me I went from a voice note to a braille note with multilingual software. I justified it by the fact I am a Spanish major andhad no adequate way to do my work then I listed reasons of why I needed it. For a job, figure out what kind of job you want then justify why the BN would help you.
