Hi John,

Indeed you could. But you'd probably still pay the same. There are not
many 32-cell displays under two grand I don't think. Then you'd have to get
the PC as well. Then you'd have two devices to carry about. I really think
this has potential.

All the best

Steve

As Mike Townsend pointed out in another context on last night's In Touch,
all of these machines are way behind the curve in terms of the mainstream
software they run, so much so that many modern websites are simply not
usable to them. Even the new Euro Braille model which Steve Nutt is about
to stock is only running windows 7. While i agree with those who've said
that the HIMS products are probably currently the best, the person who sold
me my U2 Mini actually said that he couldn't envisage any serious web user
ever using one of these machines because the browser is just not up to it
and the process is incredibly slow.

My Braille-Sense 18 is pretty hammered.
Can anybody tell me if there is a better unit out there?
I need it to do the same kind of stuff but better web access and being
able to use the BBC web site more fully would be nice.
Also being able to click on a LINK in an email and going directly to the
web site would also be wonderful.
Most of the time even if I can open the email in the web browser it just
freezes.
Cheers
