[nabs-l] Some Questions About Attending College

[Kaiti Shelton]

As a college student who uses a BrailleSense, I agree.  I also like
the browsing features and think they work a little better than the
BrailleNote's internet system.  Also, no pesky kwb or kwt files to
worry about!

The latest version of the U2 would be my recommendation.
