Hi, All, I would use it a lot more as a notetaker if I could get a qwert keyboard for it. That way, I would not have to lug my Pac Mate around.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that you must write in uncontracted braille and therefore, it is a slower process for those of us who might be used to writing with contractions. For quick notes such as phone numbers or something, it's not bad.

Why or why not? thanks all.
