Hi Alex Are you planning to do that public beta thing? Right now while in this message I am testing my Braille Edge under Usb because now I have the situation that my little Focus 14 sort of works in Bluetooth, doesn't work very well under USB, and now I can't have both my Braille Edge 40 and my Focus 14 on the Bluetooth list at the same time. What's weird is that is was, until I took the Braille Edge off, not on the VoiceOver table but on the System Preferences list.
Now that I have the Focus 14 working well enough for me to use it under Bluetooth for what what I got it for, it looks like I am going to have to use the Braille Edge 40 with USB for a while, whether I want to or not. Luckily, it is the Braille Edge 40 is working very well writing this message using Bluetooth. So, if you do the beta thing, could you see if you can put two Braille displays on the Bluetooth list and be able to switch between them? If you can't, could somebody please test this? I may decide to do it myself, but I'blind need to check with Apple first because I still have that open case on my Focus 14.
