Hi all,My very old Focus 40 classic has suddenly stopped working.  I have asuper important brief due next week, and Braille is my go-to forproofing and editing.  Though I am getting more comfortable using Jawssound schemes, I am a Braille reader through and through.  If anyonehas a Braille display they either don't use or could part withtemporarily while I purchase a new one, please contact me off-list.  Iwill pay for shipping, insurance, etc.Thanks!On 3/27/19, Singh, Nandini via BlindLaw <blindlaw at nfbnet.org> wrote:> Understood.
