Hi Lisa and Frank, While we're on this topic, and please forgive my ignorance, I was wondering exactly what a TTY was. I know I've read about it a little online and in magazines for the visually impaired, but I'm still a little unclear of what it is, what it involves, and what it does. Since both of you were suggesting this for the BrailleNote, I was just wondering what that would mean in terms of the BrailleNote's capabilities. Just curious, and thanks a lot. Regards, Maria
