Hi Isaac!  I wish I had been in on the decision to purchase the braille 
translation software as I, too, would have gone for the Duxbury without 
hesitation.  Still don't know who ordered the NFBtrans, but it showed up in 
my mailbox one day and upon loading it, there was a message saying it was 
registered to our school. So, the bottom line here is to make do with what 
I've got!
 
The MBoss printer has been used quite extensively in our School for the 
Blind.  They are getting a Versapoint, so, with any kind of luck and a bit of 
horse trading, the computer lab (which is housed in a separate building and 
serves both the deaf and the blind population at our school) will inherit the 
MBoss.  I have been majorly impressed with that printer, and will be thrilled 
to get it.  It's a real workhorse.  
 
Yes, I do teach word processing.  I teach WordPerfect (5.0 is what we have 
now, but will be upgrading to 5.1 shortly), MicroSoft Word 5, PC-Write, and 
MicroSoft Works.  Also do some dBase (III+) and will be co-teaching with an 
expert in Lotus 1-2-3 (spreadsheet is not one of my strengths, so I'm hoping 
to learn alot from my co-teacher on this one).
 
So, tell me about you.  What kinds of things do you do with your computer and 
what kind of a setup do you have?
