This Issue's Featured Advertisement: New BrailleNote PK's Reduced To $1,999.00 USD Each!
 Flying Blind, LLC is both ecstatic and astounded to announce that its supplier has reduced the price of the BrailleNote PKs advertised a couple of weeks ago from $2,995.00 USD each to $1,999.00 USD each; that's approximately $3,000.00 USD off of their list price!

These PKs are running the latest version of KeySoft designed for the PK and come with a manufacturer's warranty.

So, for US$2,999.00 USD you can own one of the world's smallest notetakers with a fantastic GPS solution, integrated right into the PK!!! For more information email featured at flying-blind.com or call +1 (216) 381-8107. Act now while supplies last! All available units will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. (PC not included.
