Hello;As for the i-pad, if a blind person can get the task done with main stream technology there is a big savings. One can purchase a reasonably good i-pad, 32 gig, for about $600.00 I suspect that the orion without a braille display will cost significantly more probably about three times the price. You avoid that steap learning curve and the need to adjust to a touch screen or use a separate keyboard but I congratulate anyone who has successfully taken on the task. True you will never have nls but that would appear to be the only down side. Now if I just had more courage and ambition.
