Instructions for Elba

[John J. Boyer]

Tommy,
I finally found the CD in the back of the printed manual. Luckily, it 
contained the quick reference card and manual in text form. I'm now 
reading them with my old braille display. As soon as I am familiar 
enough with the keystrokes, I'll read the manual on the Elba itself.

I simply do not understand why any vendor of braille displays would not
include at least a braille getting-started guide in the box with the
display.  This experience is not reassuring as regards Papenmeier's
serviee and consideration for its customers.

John
