The Optacon II had two good things though. One was the extra video setting 
to allow us to read other portions of windows screens with the crt lens. 
The other was the screen-reader called o2pc which came with it. I used 
that to read the computer screen until I got a braille display. If they 
had only kept updating that, imagine the benefit. It was a little slow 
compared to speech or braille but boy was it accurate and boy did you have 
control! I miss it. If any of you programmers wanted to playwith it I 
could send you a copy but even TSI wouldn't devulge the source code.
