I second all that.  I have had limited  experience with a braille note,and even 
less experience with the pac mate. I love what I saw of the pac mate.  It can 
also make itself become like a smaller version of your hard drive, taking 
folders etc if you want it to.  The version of the Braille Note that I used 
needed an external disc drive, so more stuff to cart round and plug in.  I 
found the Pac Mate really easy to follow.

  Hi Sharon
   
  I would recommend the pacmate as I feel this has a much lower learning curve 
when learning how to use it than the Braille note.  The pacmate runs on a cut 
down version of windows and comes with pocket jaws and the voice you are 
already used to and also includes pocket versions of word and excel.  So as I 
say if you are already used to jaws, windows and office it shouldn't take too 
long to learn it.  Have supplied and trained on three of these this year and 
really like it as a product.  The Braille note is still using humanware's own 
keysoft software if I am not mistaken which wouldn't
  feel or function like Microsoft products or jaws and as I say would take 
Longer to learn than something that looks and feels more like windows.  Cheers!

    Hi,
     
    I am currently looking at replacing my braillelite as it is getting rather 
old, and not doing all I would like it to do.
     
    Does anyone have any recommendations for a note taker.  I need something 
preferably with speech and a braille display, something portable, and something 
I can do most functions I can do on a desktop pc, e.g. e-mail, write documents, 
calendar, etc.
     
    Any suggestions/recommendations much appreciated.
     
    Thanks.
     
    Sharon
