[nabs-l] notetaker prices

[Steve Jacobson]

Don't forget about the BrailleSense as well, some have had very good luck with that note taker from HIMS.  GW Micro still has information about these note 
takers at

http://www.gwmicro.com/Notetakers/

and there could be other dealers.  Also don't overlook the approach of using a refreshable braille display with a laptop computer.  In some ways this 
approach is less convenient while offering more flexibility.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
