yeah ... a bit of both ... I just joined up a few weeks ago when I was
looking for list serves on Braillle notetakers. Well ... I didn't find any
but I found this, which has been interesting so far. Do any of you know
anything about the Braille Sense, Braillle Note, Packmate etc. or where I
might go to find introductory stuff on them? I've been using a Braille Lite
2000 for about 6 years, but I think I might need an upgrade. Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Sarah Jevnikar
