I wasn't talking about Braille as the only access device. You are all misunderstanding me. What the original statement was that you don't need a Braille display to program. I agree with this statement, but what I was trying to say is that Braille is very nice for programming. That's where the high-speed connection to the Internet analogy came from. You don't need a high speed connection to the Internet to read your email or download files, but it is very nice to have one. I agree with Kirk about a qwerty keyboard VS. a Braille keyboard, though. I originally chose the Type 'N Speak as my portable device because I type about 2 to 3 times faster on a qwerty keyboard than I can Braille even at my best. So, my statements about Braille were not about just Braille itself, but specifically, using a Braille display for programming. For me, I like to have both options and almost always have speech with Braille at the same time.
