Braille writers are just the same. I used one of those until I was about thirteen. Then I got a Braille and Speak type thing, but even then I did math on the Braille writer because of course I didn't have a Braille display on that one. When I got my Braille Lite Millennium, I switched entirely to that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Grandma Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

Typewriters, groan. You young folk don't realize how lucky you are to have computers, where it's so easy to make corrections. E, I don't know if you used an electric typewriter where you could go back and make corrections with relative ease, but George and I remember manual typewriters--even before correcto-tape. But even with correcto-tape--if you made errors you had to redo the complete page because professors wouldn't accept anything messy--even high school teachers wouldn't. We bought an Apple as soon as we could when our daughters were entering high school, so they wouldn't go through what we had. But even then, my "gifted" daughter twice or three times didn't save--even though her mother had warned her to save frequesntly, especially after the first time she lost a paper. You'd think she'd have learned after the first time. The second or third was when she was almost finished with her paper, or course the night before it was due--and no hard copy.It's amazing she grew up. smile G.Cindy***WISH LIST (CALLED REQUESTED ADDITIONS TO THE BOOKSHARE COLLECTION)IS AVAILABLE AThttp://people.delphiforums.com/jamiecalton/Book_Requests.htm http://www.friendsofbookshare.org/ http://studentpages.alma.edu/~07jmyate/book_requests.htmA LIST OF BOOKS CURRENTLY BEING SCANNED IS AVAILABLE AT http://people.delphiforums.com/jamiecalton/scanning.htmlJake's site for useful links: http://www.jbrownell.com/bkslinks.html --- On Thu, 6/19/08, rita weyler <ritaweyler@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: rita weyler <ritaweyler@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: ot early computers To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, June 19, 2008, 7:54 AM I remember doing the same.
