Good point. I am one of those many people who don't read braille and more
importantly. have no intention of doing so, if I did then I would certainly
use that method as often as possible for exactly the reasons you say.
I need to put labels on a pretty large library of books to give to students
when they can't be bothered to use the library, or have spent all their
money on drink and can't buy them; this method will work for probably a
couple of years until the pen is no longer supported and mine stops working.
As for 30 to 40 years, I'm not sure I'll be around to care. <smiles>
Cheers
Karl

I wouldn't label my CDs, DVDs and other similar itmes for this
reason. Maybe a bigger one is simply that in 20 or 30 years you
probably won't have a PenFriend but you will still have your fingers
and the Braille system will still be the same. Labellers like the
penFriend may get released but they are unlikely to read each other's
labels. Saying all this, it is all down to personal preference and
not all that many people read Braille so don't have a decision like
this to make.
