[nabs-l] Braille Slate and Stylus advice.

[David Andrews]

Both these things are personal preference.  Plastic is cheaper than 
metal, but I find it easier to write fast with a metal slate.

Pins on bottom means you can move slate down paper without having to 
turn it over etc.  Pins on top means you can turn it over and open 
slate, and read what slate was cofvering, without having to take the 
paper out.  If you do this with pins on bottom slate, you have to remove paper.
