Quite right. Someone with some sense!! And a dealer at that!! I'm impressed!! Like I said, mainstream is best. It always will be.

Look at the price of a Netbook and then compare it to a Braille Sense. Yes you have the internal Braille device, but not the full power of Windows, just some functions that they have chosen to add. Look at the third party programs you could run on a Netbook as opposed to a specialist device. Finally, you say you have to add the screen reader, which is right, but even including Window-Eyes on a Netbook, it is only a third the price of a Braille Sense if that.

Can a blind person buy a netbook off the shelf and use it as is? I've seen them and while they are definitely smaller and lighter, when one uses braille, there are the note takers. And I am waiting ti find out if I can get one soon. Sure its wonderful to be able to adapt off the shelf products for our use. But nothing beats having a device made for a blind person. *---* *---* *---* *---* *---* One good thing about Alzheimer's is you get to meet new people every day.
