No, as far as I can gather the m power connects to the pc and performs like
a braille display but the Jaws speech will do the reading for you, at the
same time if you require it. Personally I'd just use the M Power on the
internet and cut-out the computer, but that depends on what Christopher is
going to be doing, he's obviously doing Big things which i gather will need
his computer for. Out of my reach there Chris, Brainny...Good Luck. Thanks
Steve maybe I'll get my BN hooked up now I really Do Need a braille display
myself!
