I logged into dropbox from a new computer just the other day, and
there was no visual capcha to be seen.  :)  The buttons could have
been unlabeled though...  I don't think they were, however, I did
notice a lot of unlabeled links and things on the website.  No Dropbox
app for the Braille Note though.
