Hi Jackie.Thanks for the info. I think I'll be getting a caretech model, though I know one of them I was told costs hundreds of pounds, certainly more than I would be willing to spend. £70 sounds pritty good however, especially if its ultra small as I love compact gagets. I'll be at sight village in July, I'll probably take a look then and see what is available.
All the best and thanks for your suggestions.----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi IbrahimI have three, and believe me when I tell you I use them all. I know you don't like the Cobolt detector, so I'll tell you what I can about the other two. These are the Colortest 2000 and Colorino, both from Caretec. I love these two, particularly the Colorino, as it is nice and small. The Colortest has lots of other features including games, clock, alarm and system info. I don't know how much it costs as I was given it. The Colorino must have cost me about £70, but I bought it a few years ago now. This one goes everywhere with me as it's small, and acts as a light probe as well.I highly rate the Caretec probes, but others may offer you further suggestions or opinions on their findings too.Jackie Cairns Braille Specialist Email: Jackie.Cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sight and Sound Technology Ltd Welton House North Wing Summerhouse Road Moulton Park Northampton NN3 6WD Telephone: 01604 798024 Fax: 01604 798090 Web: www.sightandsound.co.uk -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ibrahim GucukogluSent: 20 April 2009 08:52 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] colour probes Hi Everyone.I'm vaguely interested in buying a colour probe to help with sorting the washing, matching clothing etc. I've tried and dislike the Cobolt model, so I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea as to what else is available. I believe Caretech models are good so information on these would be appreciated as well as their approximate costs.All the best, Ibrahim. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.For more information please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/email ______________________________________________________________________** 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
