I'm glad JD brought this up. I was going to ask about why you can't use USB to connect. My computer that I use (the hand held one i told you about) doesn't have serial port, and in the case of the PK especially, i'd have a really hard time finding an adapter or getting the screen reader set up through the built in keyboard for Bluetooth.
