[blindkid] braille qwerty usb keyboard needed

[Richard Holloway]

Laura, thanks. That one is actually a PS2 style but it does say in the  
description to "ask about their USB model". Sort of an interesting  
marketing strategy. I realize that USB only came out 15 years ago, but  
you might think they'd go ahead and list the product pretty soon if  
they have it.

I won't make sport though because nobody else seems to have anything  
listed (apart from some keyboards with pre-stuck braille labels). I  
went to Maxi-Aids' proper web site and found a way to contact them. If  
I get any info back I'll try and post it in case anyone else is curious.

Thanks again.
