[gps-talkusers] Re: Trekker at Leader dogs

Hi, Mike!

I am pushing that Leader train on the three GPS systems. I can't seem to get 
through to the students that the BrailleNote GPS was around a long time before 
the Trekker. Too bad! I like the sound of the BN GPS better. However, I will 
still push for all of them.
