Hello,
My name is Stephanie Brown, and I just joined this list on Saturday. My
husband Bob and I formed Computers & Assistive Technologies, Inc. last
November. I have seen a few posts already about notetaker repair, so I
thought an introduction might be in order. We repair and support various
products for the blind and visually impaired, including Blazie's "Legacy"
line of notetakers. We also sell refurbished equipment. For more details you
can visit our website at:

Also, if you have any questions for us, please feel free to ask.
Stephanie
