Glad to hear the list isstill alive and well. When my Optacon is gone
for repair I do have a scanner for paying bills etc., but am so relieved
when it re-appears. We need all the tools we can get to fface the
printed world but the Optacon really shows us what it's physically like
and lets us manipulate it to some extent.
