[Blindtlk] Getting a new cane?

[Kendra Schaber]

I'm glad that the kind of NFB cane that I talked about was discontinued! I 
think that it had too many problems for it to remain on the market. As for 
the kind of cane that I like, I will promptly agree to disagree with you all 
who like other kinds of canes than I do. It's all a matter of apponyon. I 
don't mind giving feed back on my personal experiences with canes.
