That is a neat story, and I have also had times when I didn't think there was
anything I could read on a box or something and then picked it up again later
and found that there was, even on just an electrical adaptor. Has anyone ever
read their fortune from a fortune cookie with the Optacon? I didn't think it
would work, but hey, it did. I thought that was pretty neat reading my fortune
with the Optacon. I thought the writing would be too small, but there it was.

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!
