Funny you should bring up the Apple II E! I have fond memories of that thing. In my seinior year in highschool-we're talking 1987-that's what I used. Did you ever get your hands on an app called "Braille Edit Express"? Now, that was one nice little app. Sure wish they'd bring that one in to Voice Over. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray Still a very proud and happy Mac and Iphone user!
