[Blindtlk] slate and stylus, was, abacus

[Josh]

Hi,


I learned the abacus when I was in pre-school and it was a very useful tool 
for me throughout school. How many of you still use the slate and stylus to 
braille things? My wife and I have to use one now because we needed more 
money so we sold our braillenotes and bookports and now we only have slates. 
We sold our braille writers too just to get through the last semester of 
college which we struggled through and failed anyway.

Josh
