Yes, Mary, I have also never experienced anything like what Richard
described.  I guess the person using the Optacon presses down too hard
on the device.

Richard,

I have never held my finger too firmly to interfere with the optacon's 
vibration, and I would never advise anyone to do so. The optacon is an 
extremely delicate piece of equipment, meant to assist blind people in 
reading print; it is meant for gentle use, with a gentle touch on the
very 
delicate array, which is the plate with the 144 vibrating reeds. Please
be 
extremely careful when using this device; it isn't meant for the sort of

treatment you are giving it. If the array is abused as you have
indicated, 
it will die, and it most likely cannot be replaced.

Mary
