Yep, the loans are part of the Rehab. Act, or section 504, and all the states are supposed to have them. Plus depending on income you might get a grant along with the loan, at least that is how PA's works.
there are a lot of options. My thoughts are. 1. Cost 2. portability 3 convience (charging several coponents). Smile. but my sympathies.My first BN finally bit the dust in June. Luckily perhaps, but I started a job not a week later, and as one of the conditions of my hire was a new BN.

Jill that is true. No service contract because the unit is so old.The thing is, I may want a nottaker in another form. For instance, perhaps I ought to buy a braille display and then a netbook. Then I can upgrade things modularly so to speak.I know I can use an Empower as a braille display on my computer though I actually rarely do this. So I am interested in the used equipment market. Anybody feel free to write me privately. I know about blindbargains.com and the blindattic mailing lists. If folks know about other reputable exchanges for equipment please let me know.By the way, I have discovered many states have loan programs for equipment purchase. The borrower can borrow up to ten thousand dollars at four percent for four years duration.E.
