I don't have any of those and won't ever get any of those.  The 
Apex does all I need for school and more.  Teachers email me my 
assignments and I reply in return.

If you're really interested in using Skype, then I would 
definitely
look into getting a computer.  It would be good to have one 
anyway for
school.  You're going to need it.  You can get JAWS or NVDA on it 
if
you have a PC (or Window-Eyes if you really want to have some 
fun) or
if you get a Mac, it comes with Voiceover already installed.  If 
you
have an iPod touch, iPad, iPad Mini or iPhone, you can use skype 
on
any and all of those devices.

 I don't use skype.  I only have an Apex, which doesn't do much.

  I don't have anything beside the Apex.  I don't have money for 
a
 piano
  teacher.

  Do you have a laptop, Marissa?  You'd be better off using Skype
 on
  there.  As for learning piano on Skype...not really a good
 option.
  Learning any kind of instrument through a virtual medium like
 Skype is
  really not a very good way to learn.  You should try looking 
for
 a
  piano teacher.  What state are you in?  I might be able to pull
 some
  strings.  I'm not sure, but I could give it a try.

  It's a notetaker in the Braille Sense line, made by Hims.  The
 U2
  is
  their latest and greatest model.  Marissa, I'm right there with
  you; I
  want one so badly.  I don't really "need" one, but I want it.

   I honestly can't recall; I haven't seen a Focus in a while, 
but
  I
   think there are thumb keys on the front edge of the braille
  display,
   similar to those on a BraillleNote.  There are probably four 
of
  them.
   I believe it's the two middle ones that will move you forward
  and
   backward through the book.  If I am wrong and there are no
 thumb
  keys,
   then there are probably two rows of really little buttons just
  above
   the braille display.  The furthest right and furthest left
  buttons on
   the bottom row will do the same thing.  I'm sorry this is so
  vague,
   but I haven't seen a Focus in a couple years, so I'm just kind
  of
   going from memory here.
