[Nfb-science] Braille Displays

[Mike Freeman]

I disagree with Robert in that I don't think
Braille displays are worth the money in general although there may be 
specific employment situations (call centers anyone?) wherein they might be 
helpful. I believe with a bit of ingenuity, one can largely discern computer 
programming formats and the like with speech. But then I may be cheating 
because for many years, I used an Optacon with CRT lens to read the computer 
screen and do my programming.

And yes, I have a braille note-taker so I'm not knocking braille.

Mike
