[bcab] Re: Braille displays and laptops

Hi Graham.

Yes if you are deaf and need to use a Braille display then I accept what you 
say of course.  It may be worth going for a braillenote PK for this purpose as 
this device is relatively small.  Many find that key positioning is rather odd, 
but this is a personal thing and you would need to have hands on one to judge 
for yourself I would say.

regards

graham

Hi Graham, I have to agree with you.  However, our need is for a GPS device 
which works with a braille display.  If you are a hearing aid user, you have no 
chance of hearing directions over the noise of traffic.  I have copied and 
pasted the entry for the Asus EEEPC at Ebuyer.com below.  I believe there are 
variants with larger storage memory, and you can load XP onto it.
