New Braille Notetaker From Papenmeier

[Victor Tsaran]

Here is an interesting question. Why do all these machines use 200MHZ
processor? BrailleNote uses this one, another device that I know of, it's
being developped, uses the same one... Can't they use something faster? Try
to open a 1000-page Word file and you'll see what I mean!
