Carly,
  Funny.  Most people had no problem with the iBill.  If it's a piece
of crap, they've done a pretty good job fooling the majority of the
blind market.  Incidentally, at the NFB convention exhibit hall last
year, a nice lady (like really nice, I'll give her the benefit of the
doubt and assume it wasn't cause I was wearing a suit coat), tried to
sell me one, and she let me try it out.  I got it to work with a bill
from my pocket on the first try- I must have a real way with piece of
crap technology.  Wait...the more I think about it, the more I realize
that must be true.  I use windows!
  Best,
Kirt
