Hi George -
Thanks, I'll write to her strait away; pretty poor show then, that customer
service didn't know of this, nor did their specialist department when I was put
through! -

Hi all -
I'm trying to track down a world globe that can be used by the totally blind.
I've tried the RNIB [yes, I should have known better!] they've nothing, and
seemed perplexed even by the enquiry! I've Googled for it, and found [using the
translation tool] a Braille globe on a Dutch website, that sounds quite good,
in that it has continents that can be detached for closer scrutiny, and put
back in place, it also has quite a lot of other useful sounding features;
however, it is 225 Euros! I didn't have that much in mind when wanting such a
thing.
I do understand the difficulty with keeping a globe up-to-date etc, but
anyway, anybody got any suggestions where to try?
Thanks -
Andy
