Hi guys It made me laugh to hear you guys talking about carrying those braille displays around, and the laptops. This is because, I used to carry around and Kappel Apple 2E in a backpack, together with the two disk drives. My dog and I used it to go zapping down Gaston Avenue carrying a backpack, that is I carried a backpack. I used to always carry around the tape-based person braille in a backpack too. We sure have come along way. I'm very glad I don't have to carry all that around these days.
To make this discussion of mine or related to our topic, I have a question concerning iOS 5.1 Enbrel's place. What is the best way to read DRF files? I seem to remember we had a discussion on this before, but I can't find that discussion. On the Mac, I use TextEdit if I need to read it on the computer. Then, I have to do a transformation to change all the Brille to lowercase. For some reason that I don't understand, all the BRF files I get display in all caps. in. It's no big deal to change it in TextEdit, but I wonder how that's handled on an iPad?
