using a braille watch for many years now.  I'm 34 and wehn I went to
schol in grade wchool there were no wuch things as talking watches.
If you were blind you wore a braille watch and back then it was one of
those old fashion ones whare you use to have to wind it.  In fact I
still have one of which I bought from the the natonal center.  Yah I
