Thanks, Scott. :-)

I meant it literally.  I had never come across or heard of a tactile computer 
display.

I am intrigued that they exist, but the RNIB (Royal National Institute for 
Blind people) doesn't sell them and doesn't seem to know about them.

I have googled, but am clearly asking the wrong question.

Scratch that!  I have tried again with Scott's search parameter and have 
finally found them mentioned on the RNIB site.  But they are, as you say, 
prohibitively expensive.  One is obviously not expected to want them, because 
I had even searched the RNIB shop with "braille" and not found displays, only 
inputs of various kinds.

There must be some multi-millionaires who are blind!!
