Hi Misswings,
I certainly agree with what you said regarding the convenience of having a
hard copy of the manual. I have a Braille Lite, not a Braille Note, but it
would be the same principle. It is so much easier to have a hard copy so
you do not have to exit whatever menu you are in to read what is in the
help files. Good luck. I hope your Braille Note turns out to be everything
you would llike, and with Jill's manual, you should be all set!!!
Regards,
Sue S.

Hi Jill.
Thanks for the offer, and if it saves me some money I might as well take
you up on it smile. Even though the manual I can read with the Braille
display is probably the same thing you have in hard copy, it'll still be
nice to have an actual copy in Braille just in case I might want to look up
something and not have to turn on the Braille Note to do it. I'll be
writing you off list with my address so you'll be able to send it when you
have the time.
