And lot of these people can't imagine a blind person using such a piece of equipment. The woman at The Supply Net was absolutely adament that I wouldn't be able to use my cell phone with such a machine with the cable she was going to send me. I said that absolutely and positively that the Braille Note would do just wonderfully. Well that was almost a year and a half ago and I have never heard a complaint from the Cell Phone or the Braille Note yet.

They like to say there has to be special software involved, and they have no idea that the BrailleNote exists, much less how it is set up. They can't seem to imagine a piece of equipment that has all the necessary drivers and everything it needs to work, and all one has to do is find the right cable. > > Good luck, > > Sarah > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tina > Birnenbaum > Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 8:46 AM > To: Braillenote List > Subject: Re: [Braillenote] getting cables custom made? > > > hey sara i checked out the site you gave me and i think they do actually > have a cable for the samsung i saw last night that is a serial cable.
