Hello Listers, Since the most recent posting of the Optacon Hand-out, I have been quite busy. We got several requests for surveys and to join our list. We also got inquiries re repairs both for the U.S. and England. One person wants an Optacon and you know I posted that message. I've gotten five survey responses from the inquiries already and more are coming. So, in case anybody was wondering, our outreach phase is far from complete. Thank you to those who posted the hand-out and I would encourage other to do so. Even lists and newsletters and publications which we posted to before could use a re-post. Has someone written to the editor of The Braille Forum in response to the Optacon article? Let us know. Meanti,e, very literally, keep those cards and letters coming. Welcome to our new list members. Don, let us know when we hit 160. We were at 153 members.
