 Hey!! Marissa! What's up? I have the iPhone 5 and it works 
great! You know that you can connect your BrailleNote Apex to the 
IPhone! Thanks and God bless!! :-)

 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.
