Eleanor,
Do I remember you enquiring about the Braille Blazer!
I am reliably informed that it is no more!!
You or anyone else for that matter won't get tech support for it from Blazie
or any other company.
Sorry to be appearing so blunt about it!
I wrote you off list with the subscription address of the list, for hardware
& software discussion & queries, access- UK
of Freelists fame!
It is a highly trafficked list but I'm sure that someone could assist you
there if you put your query clearly and succinctly to them {as you do}!
