Hmmm! I don't quite get this bit about additional labels ... Anyone explain some more. So, I order my Penfriend and the labels that come with it. I use up my labels and need more ... What are the restrictions here? I don't get the bit about only one pack of A or B ... It seems that you have the starter pack (and I don't know whether that's an "A" or a "B") but then you can only order packs sequentially ("A" through to whatever pack letter RNIB produce) but have I got this or am I really confused??? -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---- Original Message ---- From: Dean Wilcox To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 11:24 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: penfirned > Hi, > I've pasted the info from the RNIB online shop, all your > questions are answered.
