Hi Peter, One small correction. K1000 won't read absolutely anything that comes through your door. It can't do handwriting at all. =20 -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Logue Sent: 04 August 2004 06:35 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Are CCTVs that useful? Hi Ray. I use a CCTV, but like you figured, not a lot. I have two actually. One is five years old and the new one, complete with auto focus is brand new. I haven't used it much, but its great to use when reading the numbers on my CD collection. I have music CD's that are in the hundreds range, so rock music for instance is in the 0 to 1000 range, programs are in the 5000 range, audio books. are in the 4000 range and audio descriptive movies are in the 6000 range. All of these are kept in many shoe boxes. After checking MS Access for a certain movie or rock album, I check the CD's sleeve for the number I need. Apart from that, I really don't need it. I read newspapers online. I might use my CCTV now and again to read an envelope or a piece of paper, but that is it. I think if you have Kerzwell you might never need a CCTV at all, as Kerzwell will scan everything that comes in your door. There's always the sighted person who can assist in reading your mail. Still though, if you have one, make as much use of it as you can. Ditto for your monitor or Zoomtext. Use whatever you can, for as long as you can. The day will come when its Jaws or Windows Eyes and no use of a monitor at all. Peter Peter ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
