Debby, thanks for sharing your story as well. This list encourages me to
make better use of my Optacon.--Ninette

Hi Ninette!

Interesting story.  It reminded me of one of my own.

Recently, a friend called and said that she ordered a gift from Amazon for
me and one for my husband that she ordered at slightly different times, so
they wouldn't be coming in the same box.  I told Bruce that a gift was
coming for him from Amazon.

A few days later, The one that came for Bruce had his name on it.  The gift,
he could tell was a DVD by the shape of the gift wrapped package.  He came
into the living room and said, "This box confuses me.  It has my name on the
box, but the gift is wrapped.  Would you please check the card to see who it
is from?"  Since Amazon had printed the card that was on the gift, I could
read it very easily with the optacon.  It was such a thrill to be able to
check something for someone instead of me having to ask someone to check
something for me.

Bruce was confused, because he had ordered some DVD's for colleagues who are
friends at work, and he thought he might have mistakenly told Amazon to gift
wrap one of them.
