[nabs-l] Braille Slate and Stylus advice.

[Karl Martin Adam]

The pins their talking about push through the paper to hold it in 
the slate.  The only slates I've used have them on the bottom, 
but I don't imagine it really matters.  I've used both plastic 
and metal and I don't think there's a noticeable difference in 
how they work.  Plastic is lighter if you want to carry the slate 
around with you.  Other than that, I'd go with the less expensive 
option.

Subject: [nabs-l]  Braille Slate and Stylus advice.

Hello Everyone,
I've been looking at the Independent Living Aids website where 
they
sell a range of slate and stylus products for creating Braille. I 
live
in Europe and they don't sell them here. I've never used one and
wanted to know people's thoughts; metal or plastic? Pins on top 
or
pins on the bottom and what does that even mean when using the 
slate?

Very best wishes,
Sandra.

 you can purchase online. Amazon, too. If you live near a 
Lighthouse
 for the Blind or local NFB chapter or Council of the Blind, try 
them.
