This is the only time I reply to the list. You all know that you
can use Nemeth in the calculator, right? Just making sure. I do
it everyday when I need to use the calculator both on the Backup
Secondary classic
bn and on the apex.

I agree that NUBS is better than UEB, but of the options on the
bn, I
prefer UEB to computer braille. Even if BANA adopts NUBS,
though, hw
may not incorporate it; Nemeth has been around for years, and hw
puts
in UEB, which is not even in the U.S. officially, instead of
Nemeth.

I think the Nemeth Uniform Braille System makes much more sense
to me than
UEB. I hope BANA adopts it. Then the notetakers will support
it.
I still think the best method for producing text sighted people
need to read
is simply use a qwerty keyboard. You can still read the text in
your
preferred grade, but you don't have to worry about errors that
occur from
translating braille to print. BT users can just plug an
external keyboard
into their BN. You don't have to buy a new BN.
