[Blindtlk] iPad magnification aps

[Julie J.]

Thanks so much!  this web site is awesome!  I've already got a list of 
aps that I want to try out.  I found two magnification aps that look 
promising on the list.  I've only had the iPad since Saturday and 
already I'm wondering why it took me so long to break down and purchase one.
