[nfbcs] Multi-Post: Braille Displays and feedback.

[I. C. Bray]

Mike,
While I agree that the COST of this venture might be extortionate, I'm still 
quite intrigued by the possibility.  Is it not feasible that someone have a 
FOCUS and a BrailleNote already??  I'm not saying that it makes lots of 
sence, but still... how much fun would it be to roll up and start pulling 
braille accessories out of the clown car backpack, and getting them to play 
well together!!

ROFL!
Ian

: Two Braille displays would be mighty big ... not to mention prohibitively
: expensive!
