OMG ... yeah, you can do a heck of a lot more with a Pac Mate than you can with a Braille N Speak. See, with the annoying Braille n Speak, you can't use any old printer you want to print out your stuff. You have to use one that your Braille N Speak will support. And another thing the Braille N Speak doesn't have is the handy dandy Braille display. Now, I don't know if you're a Braille reader, but that Braille display works wonders, dude. You can also navigate the Internet on a Pac Mate, ,wheras you can't do that with the Braille N Speak. You can download and read books, translate between Braille and text files, open Microsoft Word documents ... all that cool stuff that Braille N Speaks can't do. The Pac Mate is way more flexible than the Braille N Speak is, so I'm sure if you came up with enough good reasons and presented them to whoever is going to buy it for you, they'd have compassion and give in.

Can anyone thinkn of anything else?
