[Pibe-division] multilinebraile display

[Jewel]

The new design would use air p ressure rather than pins to create the
dots of each cell. I have not had the opportunity to see the product
myself. Eric, I'll see about getting Dr. Yung's contact information fo
you; I don't have it, but I knokw who does. At the same time, I can
get an update from him and tell you how it's going :)

We here in RAleigh are all excited about this innovation, as well, and
I'm happy to spread the news of its creation. It will definitely chang
ethe way Braille is taught and read.

Until the update,
Jewel
