Hi, guys!
I'm hoisting my glass as well.  Here's to you.

I also listened to the demo last night and I agree! I will also hoist my
virtual glass to true convergence in it's purest form.

I just listened  to this demo, and it is very cool.  I'm sure that soon 
there will be lots of tutorials around demonstrating how to create simple 
scripts for Windoweyes.  It's wonderful that for much lless than $200 you 
can by an omni directional scanner and instantly know what kkind of serial 
you are holding, what that CD is in your hand, or what that can of soup or 
vegetables you bought is.  Or carry your laptop or cell phone with you and 
scan stuff at the stores.  These new programs bring this technology into the

realm of affordability for all of us.  Steve, let us know how it turns out. 
I predict that in the next five years even agencies will start moving toward

purchasing applications that will run on cell phones to do all these things.

It's so much more stable and practical and then you can take your technology

where you need it.  The old line companies will have to adjust to this trend

or lose out.  As Steve and others have stated on this list before, Why would

anyone want to carry around programs running on large clunky notetakers or 
laptops when their counterparts running on cell phones work so much better 
and are more stable and easier to use?  This day is here now.   Many of us 
just haven't made the transition yet.  So I hoist my virtual glass to true 
convergence in it's purest form.  Anyone want to join me?

Hi,
Here's something I want to pass along.  I just purchased a USB bar code 
scanner and I cannot wait to get it and use it at home.  This is just so 
cool.

With the release of Window-Eyes 7.0, we've been able to make our life a bit 
easier
by using bar codes. In this short demonstration, listen as J.J. uses a bar 
code scanner
and a Window-eyes script to identify packages and read product directions.
