Hello! I also use the alva Satellite. I have tried thye Handy tech and some focus display and did'nt like them. Tha handytech has very strange braillecells. I think they ar made so that it should be easier to use but i did'nt like it. And the focus display is to plastic. So i can recomend the alva satellite or the Papenmeier braillex el-displays. /Anders. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Patterson" <ericp@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, June 26, 2004 6:12 AM Subject: RE: Braille Displays > Hi Ron and others, I used an Alva Satellite when I was working for Stream > International and really liked it.
