Hello Todd, yes this is a very good point. Perhaps you, and other DeafBlind users on the list, can tell me about your ideal vibrating alarm. One suggestion we had was to cause the Braille display to vibrate. But I take it the ideal solution would involve something external, so you could put it under a pillow or in a pocket, would that be correct?

Why not add a vibrator so we are better alerted? Yes, still another big challenge for you, PDI!
