Still confused about who owns which companies. I know TSI collapsed, but then
came back for a while, before it was finally done.
Enabling Technologies took over the VersaPoint manufacture and sales in the
first interim, but they wouldn't service mine when I called them.
So, I'd be interested in finding out if Freedom Scientific would service the
VersaPoint, too. If I find out, I'll post the information. Jill

DianeYes, the VersaPoint was made and sold by Telesensory but when
Freedomscientific acquired Telesensory, Freedom Scientific was selling and
repairing the VersaPoint embossers. You might want to see if they still are
servicing them, if not make a deal if you are in the market and sell it and buy
a more current model of an embosser. Freedom Scientific's number is
