Hi Wendy and Everyone

You beat me to it.  I could not have put it better.

I think the feeling was that, as scanners were so much easier to use, Optacons 
were redundant.  I know some people had problems identifying the letters from 
the vibrating rods.

I have had an Optacon since 1972 and think it is the best reading machine ever 
developed.  It does not translate the print, as a scanner does, it provides 
your 
finger with an image and you do the translation.  I like that as I feel I am in 
control.
