hello friends, i am an impulsive buyer, any new gadget that comes up, well, i've got to have it, [whether i really need it or not] but i promise you, and my pocket, that i am mending my ways, now here's the story, i need an extra piece of equipment, for quite a lot of work that is to come up in the next year, do i get a laptop? or a braillenote? or, a packmate? my current leanings are towards the packmate, albeit it is somewhat expensive, is there anyone on the list using the packmate, or the voice mate, any help will be really appreciated i will be using the equipment mainly for writing and accessing the internet, i am not rushing in to this, as i said iam mending my foolish ways, take care, travel safely, joe and dillon.
