[nabs-l] KNFB Reader

[Serena]

If your parents have the money, then go for it!  One thing, you don't have 
to use the KNFB Reader Mobile as a cell phone.  In fact, if you're going to 
try to convince your Commission for the Blind to pay for it, (something I 
suggest), don't say that it can be used as a cell, or else, the Commission 
might claim you don't really NEED it.
