With the non-appearance of El Braille and the silence on the Orbit 20, it seems 
that the so-called Year Of Braille has turned out in the end to be a bit of a 
damp squib. Though it wasn't cheap, I'm glad I decided to bite the bullet and 
buy a Focus 14. Definitely my tech purchase of the year. I feel almost like I 
have rediscovered Braille.

Good question Iain, January has been touted, but there must be a problem or
it would have been out by now.  And RNIB's silence on it is frankly
deafening!

Perhaps that is why they cost so much. The small market cannot take too much
division. So what has happened to the Orbit 20?

Hi Janet

No not yet, it seems to be a big mystery! (smile.)
