Hi everyone. In 1980 I trained at TSI on the optacon, so have always had a good bit of interest in it's use and availability, parts, etc. It could always do what no other device could do for recognizing odd environments where reading from weird placed labels, etc. was necessary, read crt screens, typewriter carridges, etc. and when you think of why it was developed, makes you wonder where the lady is today who inspired the device in the first place. *smile* Curtis Delzer To unsubscribe at eny time, just send a message to: optacon-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the message subject.
