I, too, have scanned circuit diagrams.  I've used my Optacon for several 
years to read W-2 and 1099 forms in doing my family's taxes (it's that 
time again).  I've also used it to read analog meters on my tape deck and 
even to examine the needle on the water pressure meter for our baseboard 
hot water heating system to insure proper pressure.  Any of this worth 
adding to the testimonials?  Of course, it's also handy for perusing the 
on-screen programming for the VCR and for examining the computer screen 
when speech goes belly-up.
Cheers,
Jerry

Hey, I think the testimonial thing is a good idea, as long as we don't put 
too 
much of that canned applause in like those infomercials.  Of course, we 
could 
on those amazing things have people going oooh,  aaaah.

Seriously, I think a testimonial about different things, particularly 
unique 
things, that can be done with the Optacon might spur some interest in 
maybe 
having a successor.  I'm thinking about things like reading charts, 
diagrams, 
writing on bottles and cans, as well as reading hand-printed items.  Oh, 
then 
of course, there are lots of other things such as the ability to quickly 
look 
something upk, the ability to sign a document independently, etc.

I'd be happy to send a snippet about using it to read org charts and 
circuit 
diagrams, if you decide you want to go in that direction.

Steve, Chase and list,

Thanks for all the contact info you're providing. I'm keeping all those
messages. I'm thinking about how to present the optacon in such a way that
people who have never heard of it can see how special it is; with all my
planning, though, I usually just dive in and end up disregarding any plans 
I
make. I'm wondering, since this list is part of this, if some folks should
review what I put together before I send it out; or maybe some of you can
submit brief testimonials in audio format, maybe fifteen or thirty 
seconds,
so that people can hear other voices besides mine. I can easily splice 
them
in. I use Studio Recorder from American Printing House for my audio work,
and I'm nowhere as professional as those who have sound studios, but I do
what I can.

Any thoughts are most welcome; I'd kind of like to keep this discussion on
the list, if the moderator doesn't mind, so we can all be part of it.

Mary
