Hi Erik,

Yeah, it looks really interesting!  I have a HIMS BrailleEdge, and I like it a 
lot.  But there are some features on the Vario that make it look interesting - 
the ability to read PDFs and the ability to act as an independent drive when 
connected to the computer.  I also find the hand positioning on the Braille 
Edge kind of awkward, so am curious about the physical layout of the Vario.
Cheers,
Donna
