All right: now that we are getting into science fiction here is my wish: The Optacon 20,0006 consists of a glove electronically and digitally enabled, so that you simply put the glove on and arrays on you finger tips will allow you to put your hand on a page of print, or a computer holograph, and you read the information, feel the characters and drawings. This Optacon comes in a variety of styles, colors and materials. One accessory plugs right into your brain's visual cortex so that you can bypass the hand. Wait! By 20,006 this Optacon will be obsolete, because they have gotten the hang of growing eyeballs and optic nerves in your head. Oh well, it was a good idea while it lasted. -----Original Message----- From: optacon-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:optacon-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Westmoreland, J. R.
