So i really whish i could get a new braille display, a braillestar 80. /Anders. -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: blinux-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blinux-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] För Tore Johnny Bråtveit Skickat: den 24 mars 2008 20:24 Till: Linux for blind general discussion Ämne: Re: Braille displays Hello Mike and everyone, Mike, you do not say anything about whether you are thinking of a portable display or not. If bringing the Braille display along with a laptop computer is a point - let's say that you are going to have your Braille display in your office, permanently connected to a desktop computer - I would definitely say that you should go for a 80 character display if you can. I have used Braille displays for about 20 years, and I absolutely feel more comfortable with the 80 character ones. They give much better overview of the screen than the shorter, portable ones. But when it comes to brand and model, it is all about personal preferences. You know - the Braille displays all do the same, so it is simply a question of how you want the keypad layout to be - if you want to control the movements of the Braille line with your thumbs, and so on. I have used several brands through the years, but I now-a-days only use Braille displays from Handy Tech - namely the Braille Star 40 and Braille Star 80, and even a Handy Tech Modular 84. I used to have Alva Braille displays, but I dropped them after they introduced their Satellite series. I simply did not like them. Others have other opinions about these display. Again, it is a question of personal preferences, first and foremost. Best of all would be if you could get a chance to look at various displays yourself.
