What is claimed is: 1. A refreshable Braille reader comprising: a housing having a reading aperture; a rotatable wheel assembly including a wheel connected to a stepper motor for rotation thereof, said wheel defining a tactile display surface at an outer edge thereof, said wheel having a plurality of openings therethrough to said display surface, said openings arranged at said display surface in at least three endless rows and said wheel mounted in said housing with said tactile display surface positioned to pass said reading aperture as said wheel is rotated; a plurality of pins having first and second ends, each one of said pins mounted in a different one of said openings and movable therein; a static actuator assembly concentrically mounted relative to said display surface of said wheel at said housing and adjacent to said display surface of said wheel and including actuators at least equal in number to said rows of openings through said wheel but fewer in number than said openings, said actuators positioned in advance of said reading aperture relative to the direction of wheel rotation and including shafts selectively extendible for contacting said second ends of said pins to move said pins, said second ends of said pins in said rows selectively contactable by different ones of said actuators so that said first ends of said pins are selectively positioned relative to said display surface; and a static position retainer maintained adjacent to said reading aperture of said housing at a location adjacent to said wheel for passively securing position of said pins during a selected extent of rotation of said wheel. 2. The refreshable Braille reader of claim 1 wherein said actuator assembly includes a passive pin positioner for returning pins to a preselected default position relative to said display surface of said wheel. 3. The refreshable Braille reader of claim 1 further comprising an onboard controller connectable with an external text driver, wherein said motor and said actuators are connected with said onboard controller, said reader further comprising optical position registration connected with said onboard controller providing wheel position feedback to control actuator timing. 4. The refreshable Braille reader of claim 1 further comprising user controls connected with said motor providing user control of wheel rotation including at least one of rotation stop/start and rotation speed. 5. The refreshable Braille reader of claim 1 wherein said pins each include a head at said second end and a shaft between said first and second ends, said heads enlarged relative to said shafts and said first ends of said pins, and wherein said static position retainer includes retainer elements at least equal in number to said rows of openings at said wheel of said wheel assembly, said pin heads retained at one side or the other of said retainer elements depending on actuator contact or noncontact of said pins at said static actuator assembly. 6. A refreshable Braille reader comprising: a housing having a display area; a rotatable cylindrical structure maintainable at said housing and defining a tactile display surface at an outer cylindrical face, said cylindrical face having a selected surface characteristic at said display surface; and an actuator assembly mounted at said housing concentrically relative to said cylindrical structure, said assembly including actuators positioned in advance of said display area of said housing relative to a direction of rotation of said cylindrical structure and having shafts selectively extendible for contacting said selected surface characteristic at said display area for selective formation and repeated selective reformation of tactile display characters at said display surface of said structure, said tactile display surface of said cylindrical structure rotatable relative to said actuators so that a tactile display is streamed across said display area of said housing. 7. The Braille reader of claim 6 wherein said selected surface characteristic of said structure comprises openings having pins movable therein by contact with said actuators. 8. The Braille reader of claim 7 wherein said selectively extendible shafts of said actuators contact and move said pins to a least one of extended or retracted positions relative to said display surface of said structure, the number of actuators being fewer than the number of pins. 9. The Braille reader of claim 6 wherein no more than sixteen actuators are provided. 10. The Braille reader of claim 6 wherein no more than four actuators are provided. 11. The Braille reader of claim 6 wherein said selected surface characteristic comprises a mechanically plastic covering at said display surface capable of tactile character retention and of being returned to an unwritten state after display. 12. The Braille reader of claim 6 wherein said structure is rotatable by a stepper motor. 13. A refreshable Braille reader comprising: a rotatable assembly having a plurality of endless rows of openings arranged at one portion thereof, each said opening having a pin slidably maintained therein, each said pin having a shaft with a head at one end and a tip at an opposite end, said head of each said pin being enlarged relative to said shaft; a static assembly maintained adjacent to said rotatable assembly, said static assembly including a plurality of actuators at least equal in number to said endless rows of said openings but fewer in number than said openings, said actuators including selectively extendible portions for contacting said pin heads, said actuators positioned adjacent to said endless rows of openings with each interacting thereat to slide selected ones of said pins in said openings thereby to position said tips relative to said portion of said rotatable assembly during rotation thereof, said static assembly further including a pin position retention structure adjacent to a display area, said retention structure including elements defining passages, each of said passages positioned to accommodate movement of plural selectively positioned ones of said pin shafts therethrough, said elements configured to disallow movement of said pin heads to thus maintain position of said pin tips at the display area; and control means for controlling rotation of said rotatable assembly and operation of said actuators. 14. The Braille reader of claim 13 wherein said rotatable assembly is a cylinder having a cylindrical face with said openings therein. 15. The Braille reader of claim 13 wherein said control means includes rotation stop/start and rotation speed controls. 16. The Braille reader of claim 13 wherein said static assembly further includes a default positioning device for returning said pins to a preselected position by pin manipulation at said heads.
