Folks, we are starting to drift off the topic of this list, and the discussion we're having has moved well away from a USB port on the BrailleNote. Please keep contributions to this list confined to the BrailleNote. There are more general technology lists where you can discuss wider industry issues, one such list being BlindTech.

Hi Sarah: Hmm, I think there are more folks going blind by the hour than you can imagine!!! What do you think of returning soldiers from battle grounds?? The population is fairly large and will most certainly keep getting larger until something else happens!! I know an African country where onchocerciasis makes well over 250,000 people go blind annually. Unfortunately, the government of the country in question DOES NOT assist with the purchase of adaptive equipment. If you take 1500 or more Perkins Braille machines to this country this hour, they will all be SNAPPED OFF YOU by blind folks desperately in need of whichever Braille production equipment they can get their hands on. Not that they are rich; they still have to RAISE THE FUNDS from friends and family to purchase them. So, although no one wishes to see more people go blind, I seriously doubt if we will ever get to see this wish become untrue!!
