[Icon-tech] I cheat with the Icon...

[Beth Koenig]

This is interesting. I have always just used the brl plus to do stuff. I
think since you have an icon you are going to want a keyboard when working
in the console. I use the built in brl keyboard on my unit.
To use the console you need to learn speakup but it's really easy to get
around and read thing with basic navigation.
What kinds of things are you wanting to do with the unit?
