Jeff,

People would use 8-dot braille if they want to use computer braile. I've 
heard some people say they like it for certain things though I can't 
remember what.

Also, on some note takers, you need to use computer braille to input 
special symbols, like the at sign and period in email addresses; 
slashes, back slashes, and captial letters in URLs; accented characters 
in foreign words and phrases; and math signs. This is true even if you 
are outputting in literary or six-dot braille.

Ciao
