[Electronics-Talk] 6 dot labeler

[Danielle Ledet]

I have to agree with you Charlene. I think the older six-dot lablers
were better. I had the same thing happen to me with a recent one I
just bought. It works but to me it is fickle and takes a lot of
strength both to get good Braille and then definitely to cut the tape.
I can slate but wish I had a book or something to help me out. I tend
to be getting letters wrong some type of way and I am definitely not
fast, but I still try.<div
