[Blindtlk] Perkins Brailler question

[Mark J. Cadigan]

Apologies you have the next generation Perkins. I personally don't like it 
at all. After midterms, send it in to get repaired, and try to get one of 
the old reliable original mottles. My Perkins is probably about 20 years old 
and still going strong.
