Maybe it would be a good thing, if there could be a computer application
option so those who want that could buy that Optacon, while those who do not
want it could get one without that capability.

Oh, it's just a UI idea. That is, I might like to be able to save pages of
mail, or textbooks where there were diagrams I wanted to explore later. For
instance, now, my job requires that I learn allot more about formatting
spreadsheets for maximal impact on the people they are intended for.
Formatting hasn't always been my interest or métier. Having the diagrams
helps! Being able to look at the way people--my colleagues--do things would
help.
