Greetings,
I just heard about this list.
I would love to see a new OPTACON produced.
I received my first OPTACON in 1972. I did the trade in around the mid 80's
when they had run out of one of the main parts. That machine is still
working, knock on wood.
I used it far more when I was single. It allowed me to manage my bills and
other typed correspondence completely independently.
I use it now fairly seldom since my wife reads the mail to me. However, I
still bring it out when she isn't here to check the way something has
printed, read labels, etc.
I teach at the Oregon Commission for the Blind, and there are many people
who could benefit greatly from a new OPTACON.
I would like to get the list of people who repair OPTACONs and I will post
that on my web site, along with information about this list; if that is OK.
If the repair people are in a message on the archives, if someone could
direct me to at least the time period when that was discussed, or the
subject line, I am sure I could find it there.
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens from all the work you all have
already put in to getting someone to take this technology seriously.
