[nabs-l] Neo-Braille

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Ashley,
Your Department of Rehab might be able to get one for you. They are about 4995 dollars. I  plan to wait a few months as opposed to years, because I'd like to get a device that has more support. I'm guessing in a year or so support for the Apex will go down.
