Hi Jill & All,
Ah sure there appears not to be too much wrong with your fingers this
weather! *smile*
Yep I got the idea for this from a few lists but for this thread a
slightly
different approach!
I think that this exercise is great to show what is still "alive&
kickin"
still say after say 20 years possible minimum and that is likely to
stand
the test of time!
I agree that Perkins does tick a lot of boxes and I do agree about it
being
a little heavy!
Remember though that making that lighter may not have the robustness to
fit
in to my thoughts of then "the test of time".
Don't forget too that although a product for vips has lasted 20 or more
years do you think that it will last a lot longer and not just disappear
in
to the night!
Good to know that at times that "the old" can live quite happily with
the
new.
Important this thread I feel too is too point out to younger younger
listers
of what went before, appreciating then the great advances in technology
in
either small or capitals!
Love to hear justt a bit more on this thread!
Think that so far anyway the Perkins though is winning hands down!
Anyway Sermon endeth for now! *smile*
Cheers
Tony

Funnily enough, on the BCAB list, they've been talking about Braillen
print machines. But now the subject has moved on.
Does this phrase ring any bells for anyone, baring in mind it wount
sound
right.
"Ready master."
That's what the thread's moved onto, the Vincent workstation. I used
this so much in my primary school days.
One more thing I've mentioned on that list. Did anyone own or use a
Brother AX20 which had the speech box attached? I got 1 and as an
immature 9 year old used to love to get it to swear. But the funniest
one was its pronunciation of Hazel, Hazzel.
lastly, who learned to use the Opticon? I tried and failed miserably
with it. I actually had to train 2 fingers as my index finger had some
sort of injury when I first started. Just as well that I did though.
My
fingers were just too sensative to the pins and they used to hurt after
a
while. I wasn't very good at tracking with the camera either, and some
lettters were difficult to decipher as well. was glad to give it up.
they cost £3000, and those not in the know were convinced they'd be
great
when shopping etc. My parents had to go through charities to get 1,
and
that was true for the AX20 too.
Jill.

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.
