[Athen] Braille embosser recommendations?

[Heidi Scher]

I have to chime in here. We have a wonderful ol' Juliet that uses SERIAL to
connect! I've been at the UA for 12 years and only once have sent her in
for any adjustments/repairs. She was here for several years before I got
here. Keeping my fingers crossed that she continues to be a wonderful
workhorse for us!
