Thanks Jackie,
Since my last note I've realised that I didn't say that he currently uses a
Braillelite, and would now prefer a BX 420. How easy is it to learn the new
JAWS commands through a Braille input keyboard?
Thanks,
Richard Godfrey-McKay

Hi Richard
The Pac Mate is now on the 6.2 release, providing more ability to use grade
two Braille input across applications. The fact that your friend is already
a JAWS user means there will be continuity when using the same commands on
Pac Mate.
The Omni 6.2 release also allows the user to open Office 2007 documents.
Your friend is always welcome to contact me to discuss his requirements
further.

Hi a friend who currently uses JFW with a Braille display wants to buy
either a PacMate or Braille note. I don't know how to advise him and would
welcome any comments please.
I gather that he's not going to use advance features, but principally for
taking and reading notes in fairly high-powered meetings.
I always liked the idea of the BX because it runs a form of Windows and
presumably the learning curve isn't so harsh for a JAWS user.
Please let me have your thoughts.
Thanks,
Richard Godfrey-McKay
