Hi Jean,
The Braille Note or PK is a good choice. I can't answer as to how
difficult it may be to upgrade the display from 18 to 32. I believe the BN
is a good choice for braille users. It works well with Enabling Embossers
and the Blazer. It is very automatic when reading many document types as
Microsoft Word Documents on the BN display. One can pretty much read and
write in Braille Grade two with this notetaker. It is very easy to use and
with the latest upgrade, it has any number of fine features. Please feel
free to write with your questions.

I've recently joined this list as an observer and potential buyer of a
BrailleNote down the road. I'm looking into some possible funding, but in
the meantime, I'm just going to be observing the list to see what people
are saying about BrailleNote in all its configurations. I may have a
question from time to time, and please understand I'm not a user and have
never actually used this equipment. So, what I ask may seem stupid to some.
If I opt for a BrailleNote 18, how difficult is it down the road to
upgrade to the 32?
I'm considering the BrailleNote because I have heard from so many of its
superior responsiveness for fast, accurate braille input. Would those of
you with the braille keyboard agree?
I want the braille experience, and BrailleNote seems to be to be built
around braille, whereas the PacMate is built around speech access with
braille tacked on. Is that a fair assessment?
So that's it for now. I just thought I'd speak up and say I'm here observing.
Thanks to anyone who is willing to share their thoughts and experiences.
Jean
