Hello, Olga and anyone else I may have missed lately. I've been using an optacon since 1975. It made it possible for me to have a career in computer programming. With new technology, I have other reading devices which I use for reading lengthy documents, but nothing will replace the optacon for reading electrical circuit diagrams, sheet music and maps. I've used it to read graphs too. I also like to use it to look at the mail I get and see if it's important or not. I have two optacons and plan to keep them running as long as I can.
