[Electronics-Talk] Rainbow color reader

[Arlene]

Tracy, that really sounds great about the rainbow reader, including with 
something like that blouse to see what all the different colors are. I've 
got to get it. Besides my clothing as in my color teller, it helps  when I'm 
picking out yarn at home to knit with.
