I am using a Power Braille display; does anyone know if it would work if I had a computer with only USB ports and no serial or parallel ports. JAWS is my screen reader. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Anne Lynskey" <yeksnyl1953am@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Tracy. A major reason why I want a brl display is for proofreading. So thank you for your input. The Alva looks like a very well made display, but then I have no other experience and don't know what's out there. M.A. Tracy Carcione wrote:I am using an Alva. I really like it. I've used one for several yearsnow. It takes a bit to get hold of Tech Support, but, in my experience, Ialmost never need Tech Support, so it's been OK.Mine is an ABT340. The only problem I've had with it is that, eventually,the battery dies and I have to send it in to have the battery replaced.I'd be happy to not have a battery and just run off AC, but that is not anoption. I've found a braille display tremendously useful in proofreading books. TracyHi everybody. I'm just wondering which brail displays you are using? I have an Alva on loan right now which I really like, but I'm worried about tech support for it and was not impressed with their web site. I also have not been able to contact the manufacturer. It really is a nice display though but I am uneasy about the manufacturer, tech support, etc. I'd also appreciate any feedback from those of you who may be using the Alva. The one on loan now happens to be a Sat 544. Thanks again for the thoughts.
