Thank you. You articulated my experiences better than I could've. Glad to
meet another hopeful visionary. I thank Robert A. Heinlein for sparking my
fire when I was in 4th grade and started listening to the few SF talking
books that started me off on the idea that science could use natural
analogies like the retina of the eye and the retina of the Optacon camera.

Hello Jim,
Thanks for letting us know.
All my gratitude goes to John and yourself, and all those who worked
hard so that the Optacon could become a reality.
I was born blind, but never missed my sight, except for the fact that
I couldn't read what I wanted when I wanted.
I collected loads of books and, to those who asked what I was going
to do with all those books I couldn't read, I replied that I was
waiting for the day when someone would invent something to allow me to
read...
Nobody believed me, but I was sure it would come.
And it did come...
So, thanks to all who made this possible.
Ciao,
Ollie - a happy Optacon user
