Maybe!  Except I think I would still prefer to take notes on the Braille
note.  I have managed to use the Book Port to do so but it is way too slow
for my mind, I forget where I am, lose my train of thought and spend way too
much time thinking about the keys on the Book Port.  It will do in a pinch
but it will never be my first choice as a note taking device.  Give me my
computer QWERTY keyboard for that.  

Actually, I type so much that writing braille at all is slower than it used
to be.   I recognize errors, but I think noncontracted braille a lot when I
am writing, and then get annoyed with myself when I am reading.  Spending
more than ten hours a day at the computer has its drawbacks.  I used to get
a Perkins going so fast it jammed.

Hi Kevin and list:

Just wanted to add a little to what you already pointed out. If you don't 
know Braille, having a bookport gives you the insentive to learn it so you 
can take advantage of the notetaker features.

Cheers,
Dave
