Hi John,
I don't know if you are aware of the Graphing Scientific Calculator we've
developed for the PC and the Braille 'n SPeak (all of our note takers).
It is a very nice product for engineers and scientists and we should try
to get the word out that it exists. Its modeled after the commercial
graphing calculators. It allows plotting up to 10 equations of the form
Y=f(X). It works with the Braille Blazer and most other printers that
have a real graphics mode. It costs $49. for the BNS version and $150.
for the PC version. I'd be happy to demo it for your meeting if that
fits your format.
