Hi, Jared,

I am using the Elba.

I like it a lot, but there are some limitations.  You don't have access to 
the whole linux system so you can't do stuff like compile your own 
software.  If it were a personal unit and not one for my job that would 
upset me.  But it has all the great features of linux like stability and in 
this respect it's better than any notetaker I've played with.  The braille 
is beautiful.  The machine is a bit big and klunky, but I like it anyway.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Please use this address:

doggene@earthlink.net

Liz
