With the Pac Mate notetakers becoming more popular with consumers, Some of you might be interested in training on these products. We have created a test both for the Pac mate bx400 with the braille keyboard and the Pac Mate qx400 with the QWERTY keyboard. In order to train on these new products, you will have to pass these tests. Please contact me if you would like to take either of these tests. We could arrange to give these tests at the time of our February meeting if that would be convenient for any of you. I have created a study guide for each of these notetakers which I think might be useful to you. If you would like these short manuals, please contact me, and I will send them to you as attachments.
