[nabs-l] should I get a notetaker?

[Serena]

Who actually baught the BrailleNote for you?  Who told you it's not for 
personal stuff?  If your Commission for the Blind baught it for you, they 
may say it's only for school, but nobody really checks what you're using it 
for.  Definitely get one for yourseelf!  Get your Commission to pay for it 
... Since you have a laptop, you probably will have to fight hard to get it 
cuz they'll want to just say you're good to go with the laptop.
