An other very useful thing about P D is that it works for my braille music writing. I get people to dictate music I need and only want an easy way to type Braille without having to bend over backwards typing all the strange symbols required for Braille music on qwerty. Sure best thing would be Braille input on display or notetaker but money, money money...
Thanks for the good news about it coming to mac some time soon. Will bide my time and continue brailling music on qwerty for now. Thanks, Ioana Please check out my cd on www.ioanagandrabur.com, on iTunes or most online stores.
