Hi, Al!  Glad to find another dedicated braille user!  I have never 
seen 20 weight form-feed paper such as you were describing, but I know 
that at one time, at least, American Thermoform Company in California, 
offered a draft quality paper--$21.95 for one thousand sheets.  I have 
never seen it, but I gather it is the type of paper braille magazines 
are done on.  I don't know if it was punched.  Some places will punch 
paper on request; some not at all, and others do it for a fee.  Since 
Blazie Engineering's Braille Blazer is designed for the narrow paper, 
perhaps they would be a good source.  I know Clovernook Printing House 
sells regular lightweight braille paper.  I don't know if they offer 
computer paper or not.  I have a standard hole punch.  I can only do 
about three sheets of braille paper at once, but it works!  I wait 
till there's lots to read from you guys before I start a big punch 
job--some entertainment to alleviate the boredom!  If you need the 
addresses of any of the places I have mentioned, let me know and I'll 
try to find them.  How is the braille with the LED by the way?  What 
translator do you use?  I have a VersaPoint 40 which I am using with 
Hot Dots.  Keep brailling!  Linda
