[Electronics-Talk] My Justification for the ProxTalker Electronics Braille Labeler

[Christopher Chaltain]

Vince,

You don't have to justify why you purchased the labeller. As someone 
else said, it's a personal decision. No one else understands your 
situation or knows whether it's worth it or not to you. I've found that 
some people have a tendency to think that what works for them is what's 
right for everyone, but this just isn't the case. Personally, I'm not 
too interested when others start talking about whether something is 
worth the price being asked for or not. I like hearing about different 
options, but no one knows my financial situation or how much I'm willing 
to pay for a convenience or a service. BTW, I did appreciate hearing why 
you purchased the labeller though.

We receive products from various manufacturers, and one of my tasks requires me to pull certain items from specific locations in the warehouse.  Since the quantity on the boxes are printed, and since I'm the only total that is currently pulling orders, knowing what the quantities are on the boxes not only speed up my production, but it also gives me independence.  For I usually have to hunt down someone to tell me the quantity.  And sometimes the quantity on the box is what the order calls for.
