dear friends,
I'm Saeed Mirzazadeh from iran. I know Optacon for around 2 weeks and
i'm so eager to have one.
I'm a musician and i suppose it will be very useful for reading the
notes that there's not the braille versions.

also, I've understood that there are diferent type of the Optacon. how
may i know about these diference?
kind regards,
Saeed
