[Blindtlk] New IPhone

[David Andrews]

I know the feeling.  Back in the 70's, when I 
still drank, I woke up one morning grogily 
remembering that I had ordered the Ginsu 
knives.  I still have one or two that came in the set.

You will get it, although it will be frustrating 
at times.  I got the most from the materials from National Braille Press.
