Very few, David, I assure you, because I was told I was a really good braillist, but occasionally I bodged my right finger!

Carol, I well remember you breaking the world speed record with a dotter. Some of us were fairly nigty with the frame, but you left us far behind. Not sure how many mistakes you made though.

I could write faster than anyone else I was with at school and have only seldom seen others get up the kind of speeds I managed! Mind you, I had plenty of practice writing pages and pages of letters to friends in the hols when I was bored! -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---- Original Message ---- From: "john coley" <johncoley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 1:53 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: technology rememberedHi Eleanor, people who learnt to master dotters have my admiration. Imagine how it would be if sighted kids had to learn not only to write letters in mirror fashion but also from right to left. We'd have a country full of illiterates.

Having to do it in reverse amd then see it in reverse when reading really concentrated the mind. -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: technology remembered From: "john coley" <johncoley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 10/07/2009 1:40 PM Hi Eleanor, re what you said about the dotter familiarising people with the dot formations I would have thought it the opposite, as the dots came out in reverse. Your point would certainly go for the stainsby though.

I thought my school was backward in coming forward but we did have Perkins Braillers, one each. Actually with regard to health and safety, that's it, maybe I should be suing someone now, who though I do not know. I learned Braille with the style and frame (a fantastic way to learn it) and I think everyone should do likewise today as it helps to really understand the complete dot formation. Anyway, where was I/ Yes, the arthritis in my finger joints and the welts on my left index finger. I attribute it to that 10-year-old learning Braille the hard but best way. Boy but the arthritis can sure be a problem at times *smile*.

Then came the perkins. Computers, what were they, not in my school, but then i left in 69.

And to answer your questions, Yes, you can easily use the lables more than once just re-record them. And you can use the lables for item's in the freezer too. If you want to watch/listen to a demonstration of the same, why not go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkjKpWHz_F4 Hope that helps, best wishes, madleen -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of william lomas Sent: 07 July 2009 11:04 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] penfirned Hi, has anyone found out more information on the RNIB penfriend. *can we re-use each label more than once *will the labels be able to used to recognize foods that have been in the freezer?
