Francis, I just saw an email on the JFW list I think. It mentioned the Optacon user's list. If all else fails take a look in the JFW archives because the message was today's mail. I would send it to you but I am being a good boy and have deleted it.

Those are the same people who made the VersaBraille and VersaPoint braille printer, among other things. After Jim Bliss retired and left TSI, they sold all their "blindness" products to Blazie Engineering, before Blazie got merged into Freedom Scientific. I have a love-hate relationship with them. They made some incredible stuff in their time. Now, they just sell closed circuit TVs. I don't know if they still sell their scanner reading system. I'm trying to get information on Optacon users, and noticed another email with that subject. Thanks for offering that.
