Hi,I love my Braille watch. I like the fact that I can check the time while in public and not have everyone who is near me hear that I am doing so. Besides, I find the sound of most talking watches and clocks very annoying. In fact, I would love another Braille alarm clock. I had one when I was a kid.... I think it was called a Baby Ben. Wonder if they are still being made somewhere.

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 havethe sharp talking calculator, the 1 with the alarm and timer and all that onit. would love to have 1 of those again, plus the Sharp talking clock andthe Vox talking watch, though I bet there's few of those left. They were sofragile.
