Hi Tony
Once I get dressed in the morning, it's my faithful old Braille watch
that has to go over my wrist. I've had this particular watch since
Christmas 1995, and I still love it to bits. I once left it in the
pocket of my skirt, and it ended up in the washing-machine, but it
miraculously survived! I've got a couple of spare Braille watches as
they seem to be on the demise, but they rule in my book. I can't abide
talking watches! (smile).
And my metal Dymo gun I bought from George years ago is still a personal
favourite as well for labelling CDs, folders in my filing cabinet ... I
wouldn't be without it either! Some of the oldest gadgets still remain
the simplest and best to use!

Hi Jill,
I agree about the dymo gun!
I use dymo tape with a one line metal braille writing guide to braille
labels for CDs CD roms etc.
I have been through a fair few watches/clocks in my time but one I still
have is a manual "braille" clock going back!
The only thing about it nowadays is say you want it to "go off" at seven
then you will have to set it for 3.30! *smile*
Don't laugh too loudly though, it still serves it's purpose well when
I need to fall back on it, believe me!
It's still "alive and kickin" when all the others have long stopp
a-tickin!
Tony

I don't use my perkins much nowadays but it has its uses for things
like
labelling cds. I know there's the dymo gun, but I like to use all the
contractions available to me and of course the dymo gun doesn't have
them
all. I did try with the dymo tape and adaptor but the tape used to
fall
through no matter how tight I pulled it, so dots didn't come out very
well
for me. I use the sticky back plastic sheets and get someone to cut
the
lines out for me then I cut the labels. I write as many words as I can
on
each line. that may be a few album titles or just 1.
I still have my old tandy talking clock. It's 25 years old or so and
I
guess if I put batteries in it should still work. I don't though as
it
takes 3. quaint and dated though it may sound, I love it. I used to
have
the sharp talking calculator, the 1 with the alarm and timer and all
that
on it. would love to have 1 of those again, plus the Sharp talking
clock
and the Vox talking watch, though I bet there's few of those left.
They
were so fragile.
Jill.
