I know a lot of people who like the Trekker speech better and a lot who like 
the Braille note speech better--think it's just a matter of preference.

  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.

provide this sort of training and funding. They all know we are available and 
willing to work with any of them and I am quite sure the big schools are 
evaluating options.
