Hi there I realize what I'm about to say may not address your particular issue, but I just discovered something about my braille Edge 40. I know that some of you guys have one of these things, and maybe you knew this and I didn't. I just discovered that you can type grade 2 braille into a text file on a Braille edge 40 these days. I thought for sure that I was going to need a copy of Duxberry when it came out, and maybe eventually I will, but discovering this may postpone it for a while.
