Hi Ron and others, I used an Alva Satellite when I was working for Stream International and really liked it. This display can be used with either a USB or a serial port. In addition, it has an indicator tone to let you know whether the display is turned on. I learned how to use this display through the Oregon Commission for the Blind. I could easily tell which button I was pushing because of its shape. What does everyone else recommend? Thanks.
