Fred, in a previous post I started talking about the Braille 'n 
Speach, and as you are interested, I thought I'd tell you the 
little that I know.  
First, it is probably the smallest machine of its kind, but what really 
makes it a honey is the fact that with the bns you can have open as 
many as 20 files at a time.  It would be like working on 20 letters at 
once in Wordperf all at once.  I'm not sure of all the things it can 
do, but as you canguess, it is basically a glorified word processor.  
However, you can use it with a modem and get in to fido with it.
It comes with its own speech, but doesn't have an internal disk drive 
that comes with it.  However, an external one is now available and will 
allow you to read ibm files as well as allowing the ibm clone be able 
to read bns files.
 
                        Bill.
