Hello Alia, Wow! I was glad to read your "rant", (smile).
Well, you've pretty much settled the question for me. Even though I have several Windows computers, an Orbit Reader 20 is definitely not in my future. To me, customer service/customer support is so very important.

I Don't think so I am baffled at this device. they never have enough when you order you have to wait months. those of us with macs are told to suck it up, and buy a cheap windows computer to update our devices! I seriously cannot believe that was their advice, or go to the library. so I am supposed to get a sighted friend to drive me, and when I called the library said they wouldn’t allow me to download software on their machines to update it anyway, so I either have to find a friend to update, buy a computer with windows, or go without. the company even said we can’t do updates that’s up to you, but if you have a mac too bad. it’s supposed to be a device for all, so much for that. Okay, rant over! On Mar 15, 2019, at 1:18 AM, M.

Among other goals, I was interested in test driving a few Braille displays for use with my iOS devices. Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the A.P.H. booth and discovered that they had no Orbit Reader 20s on hand for visitors to explore. While I was there, 2 other people walked up and asked about the Orbit Reader 20 and were equally disappointed at the lack of a demo model. I did, however, get a look at an entire host of other BRaile displays, from other companies, including the latest version of the Focus 40. Now, that, is a beautiful device. Regardless, I was sorely disappointed at not having an opportunity to test drive the Orbit Reader 20 Braille display. And the beat goes on, Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
