[nabs-l] Question about technology

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Hi Joshua,
I have the BrailleNote version before the Apex.  It’s a great tool.  It has 
many tools built in including a calculator, book reader to read NLS web 
braille etc, phone book, and email capability.  I think the PacMate may have 
more ability to interface with the computer though.
But I've always enjoyed the BrailleNote M'power.  I'd get the Apex, but the 
rehab agency doesn't fund upgrades.
It depends on what you want out of the notetaker; both machines have ton of 
file space, calendars, email, a web browser, ability to read braille books, 
and MP3 playing ability I think.
I know the BrailleNote has a FM radio and can play MP3 files; I think 
PacMate can too.  So there are many similarities.
Hope you get to try both out as this is the best way to help you decide.
Ashley

I tried to go to a demo, last year, but my former instructor wanted to
do something else.
I'll be alone, this year, so I'll go to the demo.
Blessings, Joshua
