Mary Ellen and all, One thing to think about with the PK is that it doesn't support embossing at this point. So if you want to turn your BrailleNote docs into hard-copy Braille, you'd have to go to the PC first. Also, Jean, I'd suggest before you get a PK you check one out; the keyboard layout is a little different than the other notetakers. The size is wonderful, though.
Just my tuppence worth.

I have seen your name ever since i started being on e-mail lists. I believe you and I were on the Jaws-llite list or the Blindcook list, one. I would suggest you get a Braille Note Pk for the simple reason that its ports are more in tune with today's technology, you would have a much faster processorand you would have bluetooth capabilities. THe Pkdoes not have all of the features of the standard Braille Note, however, its speed and ability to connect with the machines of today some of whom do not have serial and parallel ports make it a good investment. Also it has the 18 cell Braille Display and runs about $4995 in the United States. Just something else to think about and Oh yes/! The size, it is small enough to fit in a suit pocket or a hand bag so give that one a think, it is kind of the something inbetween the standard bn 18 and bn 32. The downside of the standard Bn unless this new upgrade has rectified this is that they have no usb ports on them thus you have to go dig up older printers unless you would do as I do and download your material onto your pc and print from there.
