Hi, Paula and everyone, I know so well how you feel. I spilled a drop of orange juice on my BrailleNote during a meeting and it was the most expensive cup of orange juice I ever drank. I thought the cup was empty and I had my BrailleNote on my lap, but that one little drop hit its target, (grin.) I learned a lesson, believe me!
