I will consider myself rebuked John. Most important thing here is that Jenny gets the support and knowledge she requires. -----Original message----- From: John Lynch Sent: 16/02/2012, 11:35 pm To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: request Aye Eleanor, caution is definitiely best practice in these cases, as though chargers might fit a device, different voltage could be the death of them. There is another company besides Blazie, HumanWare, who may be an alternative try, but I reckon Mr Godfrey's services are top notch when it comes to repairs. And I'd deal with him direct, but maybe NCBI'S good offices can do that just as efficiently. I hope, Jenny you will not be too long more without accessing the wonders of communication through your favourite medium. Viva Braille!
