Hi Louis, Thought I would jump in here as a braille 'n speak user.  You
can have up to 30 files in the BNS and they can be uploaded and
downloaded to a PC.  You do need some communications program such as
telix which is what I use with it.

As a note taker, the braille 'n speak can't be beat in my opinion.  As
you may know from reading messages here, the manual is available from
vibug and blinklink and probably other places.  They also have a disk
drive which I haven't seen myself, but I'm sure someone here can tell
you about it if you're interested.  Hope this helps.

... Ted
