Hi Tom!

Knew you were having a senior moment. Trouble was, I couldn't think of
Braille mate either, hi hi.

Tried asking Paula who is pretty sharp and all, but some of that history has
passed her by because that device never made it down here, hi hi.

Pac mate is either 20 cell or 40, and keyboards either bt or qwerty. Never
understood why anyone would want a qwerty keyboard on a braille device
myself, but to each his own.

73,
Dave

Yep, frank, you're correct I was thinking of BrailleMate.
Can't now even remember what the packmate is.
