[Electronics-Talk] I.D. Mate database and Trader Joe's

Wed Mar 16 16:11:28 UTC 2016

Hello Tracy.  Will do.  I have been on the waiting list for quite some time, so I expect to have the Galaxy by the end of this month.

But I got real busy with life,  studying braille, etc., and set the Summit down to use later.  Unfortunately, there it sat brand-new in a box for years.  Now that I am at a comfortable level with braille and all, i'm ready to start labeling my items.  When I visited the En-Vision America website to purchase labels, I noticed they had a new unit… The Galaxy.  After reading the specs, I decided to go with that unit and sell my Summit.  I ordered additional En-Vision America  dishwasher safe labels, adhesive barcode labels, and iron on labels.  I plan on labeling items such as:  clothes, shoes, accessories, bed linens, curtains, containers I keep teas in, books, CDs, and a whole host of other items.  I live in a cold climate, and noticed the Dynamo labeling tape always falls off during wintertime.  The Summit is a good unit, but I want a unit I can independently update over the Internet.  I also like the additional storage which allows room for growth.  Other than that, I believe it is basically the same as the Summit?
