Hi Susie,
I don't travel a lot so don't particularly need the compactness of the
PK. I think the standard BN is portable enough for me. I didn't know
the PK didnt support direct brailing to an embosser. I do have an
embosser.
Thanks.
Jean

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.

Hi Gene!
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.
