[Nfbc-info] next generation brailler

[Mike Freeman]

It's a new design. It is touted as being the next-best thing to sliced bread but when I spoke with Curtis Chong at the R&D meeting in February, he told me he was very unimpressed. Apparently the workmanship isn't that great and materials aren't up to the snuff of the good-old standby.
