[access-uk] Re: Sales and support staff's knowledage of braille

Hi Christine,

I am not able to answer your question, but the Braille Sense does have
Blue Tooth, but I have a plug in qwerty board. And it did not cost me
the sort of money that you are talking about.

Oh wow David, I didn't know that or I maybe would have purchased a BS
when 
they first came out!  Wondering if you pluged a mobile phone in could
you 
read your SMS on the display?  If so, what a far cheaper option for
folks 
than the DBC which is Really outragious as I had over ten grand paid out
for 
my total package which does include a full 6 years for both machines.

Thanks for the info and sure someone else will make use of this, I'll
pass 
it on.  Christine.
