The BRAILLE "N' Speak was the worst hunk of junk I EVER SPENT MY MONEY ON> 
I had it when I went to college the first time, and I lost more class notes 
than I care to think about even twenty years later.  I hated that stupid 
machine so much that the last time it finally died, I threw it in a corner 
of the closet and left it there when I moved out of the apartment I had.
