[Ken Perry]

Oh one other thing I was not saying a larger display would not be better I
was just saying it was a modern display.

The RefreshaBraille display is great for reading and using the phone. I love

the display but for schoolwork it is a little bit to small to consider such 
things as heavy use as a way of entering text.
Mr. Parry. Would you know if there is a link for the Jaws brailledrivers? My

Cd copy has unfortunately been misplaced or thrown away by one of my 
well-meaning sighted family members.
