Dear Ron,
I use my Perkins every day, though I have tons of files saved for jaws to
read or for me to access in braille on the Braille Note. When the braillists
in my city disbanded, I donated many braillers to deserving kids and mailed
some away to other deserving people or groups, but kept two to augment the
one I'd had since fourth grade. Now I have a brailler in 3 rooms of my
house, but I don't feel guilty about it because I use them all regularly,
keep them in good repair and know they'll be donated when I've left the
world.
I sincerely pray paper braille or print never become totally obsolete,
because electronic files are very vulnerable and often when technology is
upgraded there are problems transferring them to the new systems.
For example, soon you won't be able to buy VCRs. How many people will take
the trouble to copy their VCR collections to DVDs.? Paper, formerly known as
parchment has had a centuries long shelf life as compared to the many
versions of electronic material we've been through in the past century. I do
love and use these electronic wonders, but just worry that I could lose
them, my files in particular, in a flash.
Always With Love,
Lissi

I still use my Perkins a great deal. I find it especially useful for
keeping readily accessible records of my picks for our football pool.
