Jackie, It just sounds perfect. I am definitely going ahead with it.A friend of mine told me that in the USA the National Federation of the Blind has a centre where all products are on display, not for sale just to look at.
I think we should push for one of these in the UK. Regards Kevin----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Jeff The newest of the Alva range to my knowledge is the BC640 or BC680. Thelatter is the one I have. It is far superior to any other display I've usedbefore, and I bear no disrespect to those that have gone before me.The Alva runs on USB or Bluetooth. It is also plug and play, you just hookit up to your PC, turn it on, and it is recognised. It also worksbrilliantly on the Mac. You can do things like split the display so half of it reads say your Word document, and the other half could say read what yourphone says. If you aren't sure, contact Optelec at www.optelec.co.uk Kind Regards, Jackie Cairns -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Ofjeff flint Sent: 03 October 2011 22:27 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Alva Braille DisplaysHave decided to get an eighty of the above, only to discover that there aretwo, the new one, to me, is the "satellite."
