Pulse Data staff will also be walking around the exhibition hall throughout the conference with cellular phones, BrailleNotes, and GPS receivers.

On Thursday 20th March Pulse Data would also like to extend an invitation for you to join us in celebrating the BrailleNote's 3rd birthday. Ticket numbers are limited, to ensure you don't miss out visit Pulse Data HumanWare's booth, Island 247 at the Marriott. Invitations must be presented to gain entry to the party. Live entertainment, food, and drinks will be available and secret prize draws conducted for those attending as we acknowledge not only the BrailleNote but our customers, who have been responsible for its overwhelming success in the market. Since its launch at CSUN 2000 the BrailleNote has been the first product of its kind to incorporate Microsoft Word compatibility, access to portable GPS functionality, an integrated Braille and speech internet browser, high speed access to the network, and wireless internet access via a cellular phone connection.

In order to properly celebrate the third birthday of the BrailleNote Family, Pulse Data HumanWare is also offering one lucky visitor the chance to win a 5 night cruise for two aboard the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's "Enchantment of the Seas", setting sail on the 1st September.

Attend as many general sessions or private BrailleNote presentations, and for each presentation you attend, you will be entered into the grand prize draw. The prize will be drawn on Saturday, March 22 at 12:00 p.m. at the Pulse Data HumanWare Exhibition, Island 247 in the Exhibit Hall of the LAX Marriott. Participants must be present at the time of this drawing to win.
