Hi Reggie,
So, what will you do for a braille display?  I understand the braille display 
for the PacMate can be purchased by itself.  It hasn't been reviewed to my 
knowledge, but Perkins sells a braille display and APH is coming out with one 
soon.  The price on the Perkins is $2,495, cheaper than any other as far as I 
know.
I hope I'm not confusing anyone.

  My opinion is that the easiest way to read braille is using a computer with a 
braille display.  I have used both a Braillenote and Pac Mate.  The BN gave me 
problems with file types not being compatible with the files needed.  The Pac 
Mate has destroyed files on me right and left.  I am going back to a Netbook 
and a braille display.  I will have to use Word, which doesn't make me happy, 
but the whole situation will be much more stable for me.  JMO.

  Hi everyone,
  I just subscribed to this list yesterday.  My question for braille users is 
what equipment or technology do you find most effective for proofreading books? 
 Write me off list if you prefer.  

  Many thanks in advance,
