Hi Joseph,

To eachhis/her own, I suppose. This system doesn't involve much mre tan my
laptop with earphone and braille display. All of the devices talk to each
other without difficulty, The phone boots up quickly, and I can go for hours
on end without 
needing to find an outlet.

Sounds like you had some unfortunat experiences in that regard. My school is

been an issue. But very few instructors here would ban laptops anyway.
