Anyone else remember the #VersaBraille that was a thing back in the '80s? It was this big, clunky sort of hybrid Braille word processor/tape recorder hybrid that used cassette tapes, as I recall, for both audio and Braille storage, and there was a Braille dictionary you could get for it that consisted of a bunch of tapes, each marked with the range of the alphabet they covered. I remember I used to record random stuff on the thing just because I could, and I liked watching the time scroll past on the little Braille display the thing had. And other times I'd just scroll through the dictionary to see what interesting words I could find if I got bored. I got to use it because no one else in the school district could figure out how the hell to use the thing, and my mom happened to be a TVI, so I was kinda known as the district nerd kid.

@brianhartgen And I”m also remembering running #wordstar on a #versabraille and the dots bouncing up and down (smile)
@mkdjy12 @JonathanMosen Sorry to hear about your escape key. Reminds me of when working a booth for #Telesensory. There was a #versabraille 2 on the table. Someone came along, put their hands on it, and caught claw long nails on those rubber brain keys, and ripped dots 4 and 5 clean off. Have never liked those keys on anything.
