I think Steve Jacobson might be able to point you in the direction of the
blind programmers list.  I'm not sure of its address, but I wish you all the
best in your paper.

Greegings Joe,
	I appreciate the message.  I owned the Brialle Note, 
but also prefer
laptop.  Do you know any blind computer programmers?  I'm looking to
interview some blind programmers to find out what alternative 
methods they
employ to do their work.  The information gathered will appear 
in my college
thesis.  Thank you.

Subject: [nfbcs] BrailleNote mPower for Sale

I am selling my BrailleNote mPower BT 32, Keysoft 7.5. If I had 
to pick the
top three best qualities of the unit they would be the crisp Braille
display, the context sensitive help system and ease of menu 
navigation. It's
a nice workhorse, and given Humanware's trade-in program, it could be
upgraded to something even better. My reason for selling is nothing more
than a preference for the laptop and the fact that the mPower 
has sat around
for a while. It's perfect for the busy college student, working 
professional
or computer enthusiast who'd like a unit to tinker with.

>From the manufacturer's website:

The BrailleNote mPower BT provides a choice of output options 
by combining a
crisp, high definition Braille display with clear, responsive speech.

Features
. 32 cell refreshable Braille display
. Nine-key Braille keyboard
. Speech output
. Effortless thumb navigation by line, sentence, or paragraph
. One-handed mode for people with limited mobility
. Context sensitive help and indexed user guide
. Serves as a Braille display for PC's screen reader
. Weight: 1.3kg / 2.9lb
. Dimensions: 25cm x 15.5cm x 5cm / 9.9" x 6.1" x 2"

The device comes in its original box and includes the unit, 
carrying case
and AC adapter. The list price for the unit is $6,195. I'll 
send it over to
you for $750 and include shipping. We'll use PayPal, and it goes out the
same day if your payment clears before 3:00 PM East. If you 
find a published
and legitimate price somewhere with a better deal, send over 
the link, and
we'll chat.

Let me know if you're interested.

Regards,

Joe Orozco
