Hello Olga, or should I say ciao paesana. I too am of Italian background. I was born in Toronto Canada You certainly don't have to sell me on all that the optacon can do. My parents didn't speak fluent English. So, in 1982, I bought an optacon to assist in reading mail to them. I too read magazines. as I live alone, I can read bills my bank statement, etc. Welcome to the list.
