One of the main reasons I bought the BN was that it was all one solid unit. I, personally like it the way it is.
To go on with a thread about why I chose the BN: I'm a music therapist and also work in an Early Intervention program with visually impaired or blind babies and toddlers and their families, helping families learn about their child's vision and how to help them use what vision they may have. I needed a good nete taker with an excellent Braille display so that I could take notes as I talked with parents. It was almost impossible to listen to parents and listen to where I was in my speech only notetaker as I took notes during our visits. So, it was primarily as a notetaker that I wanted my BRAILLENote. The email, bookshare, internet etc. are all icing on the cake, but boy am I glad that icing's there! I've been very, very pleased with the product. It has made working with families smoother, and my reports much more acurate. Besides, I've had a lot of fun with it and found many, many uses for my BN 32. Paula Jordan, MT-BC, and Tex
