[Bonnie Lucas]

Well, Richard, it's time for you to design it and get it on the market,
wouldn't you say?

That was probably my fault Eric-- It made total sense to me that someone had
a padlock  (maybe with a slightly larger dial?) that had braille at least
every 5 numbers or so and a dot to align with. Sounded pretty neat
actually-- I had a perfect  picture of it in my mind and I wanted to see
the actual piece. (Sorry for any confusion I caused.)

I get a bit excited to see anything my daughter doesn't generally get to use
or experience made available or more accessible-- even a padlock!

Richard

that what is "best" seems to depend on the individual using the lock & the
situation. There are times where I prefer a key lock & lanyard; but for
swimming I'd prefer not to have something hanging around my neck or wrist or
in a pocket. Its good to have different options to choose from & to be
familiar with the various options so that depending on the situation one can
decide what is best.
