I sang in a high school choir, we wore robes, I had Braille music, but it was in a relatively small booklet and it wasn't an issue. Getting back to printing, Word has a better spell checker, it provides a much more robust editing environment. However, if you don't have a PC, well, things will not be easy as the future becomes the present. More and more printers simply don't use legacy technology like parallel ports and serial ports. And, most of the newer ones require driver support that cannot be found on the Braillenote.

Ok now for dress codes, I sang in the Cincinnati May Festival Chorus during the time I was in college and yes we women had to wear white dresses. As for the music, we had no Braille Notes at the time, but the choral dirrector asked me to get a baige colored notebook that blended in with the covers of the folders usedfor the scores. I have a sieking suspicion that that may be why the newer cases are black that way they could go with everything. Sadly there are not enough dress codes. When I was growing up and until the day my Father died, the sons and grandsons and sons inlaw and any potential sons inlaw were required to wear coat and tie to dinner. It did not matter if the boys had been painting a house or been working under an oil pan in a car you wore a coat and tie to dinner and that was simply that and if you didn't well you sat in the sun room until the family had finished dinner. I understand from my oldest sisters that when they were growing up they too were required to dress for dinner. It just gives you a higher sense of self estime. Ok turn the page please and let's just say that with the arrival of the pk it gives different strokes for different folks. I have actually never used my bnwith a printer, preferring instead, to simply download the information into the pc and doing the edits from there. 1, the spell checker in ms word is far better, and 2. you get a back-up copy which you can keep permanently in your pc thus making room in the braille note for the fun things in life. Also let's not forget the other new guy on the block the Brailliant for those of us who have decided to forgo the stripped down versions and have changed to laptops and subnotebooks so we can put what we want on our computers and we wouldn't have to deal with pocket anything but the big boys. Ok a lot in this message I know so I'll stop here. Thank you for reading. Mary Ellen Earls Remember!
