Hello,
Where is the NUBS evaluation form?
I thought I brought mine home from NFB convention but do not see it after unpacking. Sigh.
Thank you.
Very best,
John

Other changes include the dollar sign (no longer a lower d, in NUBS, it would be dot 4, S before the number sign. Another change is the decimal point in both math and computer code. I don't remember the exacts of this, but I prefer the dot 4-6 sign that is used in computer Braille pre-NUBS. Also, a punctuation mark (4-5-6) would have to be used before punctuation when numbers are at the end of the sentence (ex. The girls beat the boys in soccer 3 to 1. This sentence would have to have a punctuation sign before the period to show that it is not 3 to 14.

There are other changes, and I'm sure ther e will be changes made to the "beta" version that is currently being looked at, based on the evaluations that people send in. By the way, if you've not done such a nevaluation, the deadline is July 31, so get those in!
