Hi Donna, I don’t have a Braille eMotion, but I have had a BrailleSense 6 for about three years. There are some fading dots, but I haven’t sent it in for repairs yet because they don’t affect my reading too much yet. The problem you’re having sounds pretty scary. I’m on an email list for users o

Re: AppleVis.

Damn. But of course it's entirely right that a volunteer-run site should give its first priority to those volunteers. They owe us nothing and, indeed, all good things must come to an end, eventually. Particularly in a much more turbulent climate. But it's such a shame. The site was competently

Re: AppleVis.

I am personally stunned to learn one individual created such a legacy. What also concerns me deeply is that the resource will be gone for the many new to Apple and accessibility who may not have a solid public resource to draw upon. Speaking Personally, I hope the executive team leverages a bi
