[Electronics-Talk] Mini guide

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Mark.
I'd be interested to hear if you've done any comparison of the 2 devices.  I
have the BuzzClip, but don't know how it compares to the Mini Guide.

Hi Jenny,

I have a Mini Guide that I bought in 2006, and a Buzz Clip that I bought
last year when they first came available in the USA.

They are both here on the shelf, unused, since I got a new Guide Dog back in
February.  I'm not interested in selling them, but would be willing to let
you try them out for a week at no cost.  I would only ask that you ship them
back to me in Oklahoma at the end of the week.  

Please write off list if you are interested.

Hi,

Does anybody have any information of the actual company or representative
that I could either have come out and let me play with it, or well that's
it. I'm not paying for it if I can't play with it.
