Linda and list,

Reading record labels and LP covers is really lots of fun, although if you 
try to read the ones that open up like books, it's challenging because 
you've got two 12-inch surfaces to read across with about four columns per 
LP cover; talk about challenging!

CD inserts can be a challenge too; some CD's that are packed in 
booklet-style containers are great if the print in the booklet is good 
enough. CD's are great but I get nervous about scratching the surface of the 
disk with the optacon lens, but it works sometimes if the colors have enough 
contrast. Somehow, though, it's just not as much fun as reading all those 
lP's. What a treat to find out what those songs were really called, and who 
wrote them!
