Hi Steve. I bet people think you have an built in MP3 player on your cane when you have a K Sonar attached to your cane. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi James,I agree with you, I got rid of my Ultracane simply because it was too heavyfor every day use. I travel around a lot, and I just found it cumbersome compared to a regular cane. But the K Sonar is pretty good, and you can clip it to your cane. Only down side to that, is you have to wear an earpiece with it. I don't like that either, as it impairs hearing. That one is at http://www.ddaware.co.uk.Finally, I am waiting to receive the new mobility aid from Caretec which is called Ray. It is a handheld device, but it vibrates or beeps, your choice, and I like that. No headphones required, but you can use them, if you wantthe audible warnings. http://www.caretec.at. We will be able to sell this, and if anyone is interested, write to me off list, and I'll let you know when I have worked out the price, and more importantly, evaluated it. I hope this helps. All the best Steve -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf OfJames Scholes Sent: Sunday 1 February 2009 20:41 To: Peter Beasley Subject: [access-uk] Re: The Ultracane! I am a convert. Hi Peter, Just my thoughts here: Interesting. I definately know what you mean, it iseasier to move along with, but I just can't get over the fact that its just not portable enough for a mobility aid for me. Plus, I have learnt a variety of Cain techniques, so I don't feel the need for a vibrating warning system.I should try one again though, really give one a go. -----Original Message----- Sent by Peter Beasley on Sunday, February 01, 2009 at 07:59 PMI bought one of these secondhand over 3 years ago. And, although I used ita few times, last Monday someone who was looking up in the clouds - or behind him, got himself intangled with my cane and broke off one of the joints. I was ok because I wasn't far from where I was going and someonehelped me there, and I managed to get a lift back home when we had finished.The only other usable cane I had was the Ultracane so I had to use it and Iam very glad that I did. I find that I can walk much faster because it slides over the groud much easier because it is top heavy plus the addedbonus of the 2 vibrating buttons under the thumb to warn you of approachingobstacles. Iwish I hadstarted using it seriously 3 years ago. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 3816 (20090131) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com -- Check out my radio and TeamTalk server! http://www.jls-radio.com -- James Scholes E-mail: james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscholes@xxxxxxx AIM: JamesScholes000 Skype: james.scholes Website: http://www.jamesscholes.com Blog: http://www.jamesscholes.com/blog Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jamesscholes Find me on Facebook!
