What's ironic, at least with the APH scholar which was one of the last BNS moddels to be released, back in 2004, which was litterally just the original BNS, you know the one where you only had your 6 dots of braille and space, where to backspace you pressed b chord. The scholar was that, but with doubletalk instead of the artic/votrax synth, and more rom storage. Well, that had kind of a graphing calculator. One thing that I liked about the BNS, well several things, that modern note takers can't do, 1, you could put passwords on individual files, kind of like in iOS with notes, 2, as soon as you turned it on, boom, you were in whatever file you were in, when you had last turned it off. 3, at least with the compact ones with no display, you could fit it in a large pocket on your coat, or cargo shorts, if you took it out of the case. And, finally, in the file creation screen, you could litterally create a file with any extention you wanted, so, if you didn't want people opening your files, if they were smart enough to figure out how to use serial, hopefully they weren't smart enough to know that you could just click open with... So, yeah, those things were truly amazing for the time. I mean, who else could say, back then, that they had an MS dos PDA, when regular laptops of the time were almost as big in size as some small desktops today, 10 years before the palm pilot was even thought of, and it had almost everything the pilot had, contacts, notes, calendar, timer and stopwatch, alarm clock, calculator, and of course, games... Yeah, the BNS will and has been missed.
Power is not the responsibility of freedom, but it is actually the responsibility of being responsible, it's self, because someone who is irresponsible is enslaved by their own weaknesses.
