Oh John now you are talking. Well I guess if you don't turn it off and just put it to sleep you probably can. However, it is recommended then to turn off every few weeks I think. I have a focus blu but really, I have only connected it up and made minor adjustment so I was reading grade 2 Braille. Now give me a chance *smile* another whole load of keystrokes to learn with the Braille display, it will all blow my mind!!!

I have an ultra-thin myself and I love it however, I wouldrecommend the Apple keyboard for you as it also has the Function Keys on it which the Ultra-thin does not. What is the one you have at present. can'tyou use it by touch until your new keyboard comes?
