[nabs-l] Am I the only one?

Josh,
You  can label soda machines because buttons stay the same; pepsi is always 
pepsi. But if the snack machine is like the one I saw, you cannot label it.
Things change all the time. You have to see the number letter combination to 
understand it.
Then you press whatever combo the snack is in. So if cheezits is A 3
then you press A 3. However as they refill the machine, snacks go in 
different places so what was A 3 will no longer be A 3.

Anyway, I'd just ask someone to assist you; its usually not a big deal since 
students and staff roam the halls all the time.

Since I have the soda machine figured out, I'll just need to Braille
the labels, for the snack machines.
I'll have to get some assistance, tomorrow.
Thanks for the idea.
Blessings, Joshua
