LOL thanks.  I guess I should have been a bit more exact in the wording
of that previous message.  At the time, I was asking how input was done
and such but I now understand since I listened to the two demos on the
Blind Cool Tech.  This device sounds very nice.  The only thing that I
don't care for is that I will have to carry around a keyboard and a
Braille display; at least, this is how I am understanding it.  Right
now, I am in high school and while I don't care much for the Braille
Lite Millenium that I am stuck using, I do like the fact that everything
is in one unit.
