That reminds me of something I did by chance. A friend gave me a coffee mug for my birthday and it has a nice saying about friendship on it. She read it to me but later I wondered if I could read it for myself. With the good old optacon, I could. I was delighted and told my friend who was surprised. Gail That is unusual. I collected those little fortune things from those cookies and had fun reading them. I collected them into a file I wrote on my Braille 'N Speak a long time ago and saved it somewhere. Those pieces of paper are so small!
