Hi Jackie,
All things being equal, certainly a blind person!
Not saying that sighted would not know fully but I feel that a blind person
qualified and so on would be an advantage.
All things being equal I repeat!
A lot of money is paid to S and S by and behalf of the blind so folk bear that
in mind!
Gladd to know that you are doing well in Ireland, like Eleanor, would hope to
meet you at an exhibition sometime; you sound like "a breath of frresh air"
indeed.
Thank you.
Tony Sweeney

They don't have a blind person like myself to go out and demo, train and
support their Braille products as it currently stands and, in my honest
experience, there is nobody like a Braillist to really demonstrate what a
display or other similar hardware can do.

Ask Sight & Sound Catherine. Sight & Sound are aware that it does not work
with the N97 Mini as I told them. Also informed Freedom Scientific. Maybe
it has to do with N97 Mini being a 5th generation phone but it works well
with the other phones. Don't Sight & Sound have a service, well they did
when Jackie worked there, where someone would come out and show you a
Braille display, in that case, the person could try it with our phone and
then you would know before purchasing it. There is a really nice man at
Freedom Scientific who uses the Focus Blue all the time with his phone. I
wrote to him too re the drivers but whether they do anything about it or not
is anyone's guess. While I was disappointed, I have to say of course that
the Focus Blue is excellent in conjunction with PC also.
