I think Deborah does an excellent job of discussing the Optacon. It's a
neat piece of technology but unfortunately it has not been updated.
Hopefully someone will revive it and make it available again.

Hi Ike,
Thank you very much for your letter. It was a good Spring tonic.
And it  is a good reminder to me to  thank everyone on the list for all
their help and advice.

I'm not familiar with th Optacon, but just read an article by Deborah

It sounds really good. Do you know if there is anything similar to it
coming along?  Is it similar to the Braille tray that NIS (?) has been
working on?
All the best,
Lisa
