Subject: [optacon-l] Yet Another Neat Optacon Story


Yesterday I received a package which didn't contain any labels that could be 
felt. I scanned the
package on both sides perhaps too quickly with my Optacon, finding primarily 
information about sending
packages via priority mail for a flat shipping rate but nothing as to the 
package's sender or
recipient. Too curious to leave it at that, I opened the box, thinking that 
if there were a note inside,
it would be typed if the package was for me. Alas, the note appeared 
handwritten, but I was too tired
and frustrated to try to discern whether the note was printed or in cursive 
writing. A friend happened
to call last night, and I was filling him in on this whole story, griping 
that the post office had
probably, as usual, misdelivered a Christmas package to my address.
I decided this morning when I got up to re-examine the box, and finally, I 
found a zip code which I
recognized as being that of my brother and his family near Washington, D.C. 
And the note turned out
to be in print and in all caps! So, the wonderful and beloved Optacon does 
it again! All it takes
is a lot of patience sometimes!
