[NFBP-Talk] almost 90 braille volumes

[Roy McCutcheon]

My Orbit Reader arrived Wednesday and I've been in heaven ever since. 
This is the best Braille display I've ever had, and I've had five of 
them since 1991. And you can't beat the price! And, when I use it in 
stand-alone mode I'm actually writing Braille again. It's been a long 
time since I wrote Braille. It's all been typing on the keyboard until 
now. This Braille display is so compact, yet so powerful. I also got it 
to work with my IPhone. That has NEVER happened before. Loving my Orbit!
