What is the Mark? I know that some people, including my grandmother reacted
poorly to the vibration. You would have thought my grandmother had been
shocked or bitten something when I went to show her the optacon the first
time. She simply withdrew her hand and told me she'd take my word for it.

Hi, All,
Find some way to get rid of the vibration, and you will have something to
really crow about. Otherwise, no thanks -- all of that vibration, at least
to me, is a real turn-off, and I noticed that nobody on this list has
mentioned that

Hey guys,
Start thinking out of the box. How about a camera that works via
blue-tooth? That solves the cable issue, which is the bain of many an
Optacon problem, because of the miniscule gauge wiring in the cable. I'm
frankly amazed that with all the manipulation it undergoes that they survive
as well as they do.
I resolutely hope that any new Optacon will retain as one of its modes the
ability to be a WYSIWYG device. I can use a scanner for run-of-the-mill
print recognition, but it won't interpret organization charts, read
schematics, or for those who can, recognize hand-written text among other
things.
Also, while Richard Ohm is very knowledgeable, you got the original designer
of the Optacon right on the list in the person of Jim Bliss. Let's hope his
vast store of knowledge is tapped.
