[Nfb-krafters-korner] Braille was RE: needles

[River Woman]

Joyce,
I do have a bar code scanner, and a scanner that I can put in pages or books 
and it will read them back to me (Kurzweil), and my best thing is the Bonz 
Milestone. It has four different folders  in the internal memory, and I can 
also use an external memory for more folders. Then, each folder holds a LOT 
of files in them too. I use it for my addresses, phone numbers, knitting 
patterns, notes, etc. It is small, like a credit card, and fits in thepasm 
of my hand. I can put it around my neck and take it anywhere or put it in my 
purse. So with all these devices, I can find things quickly and easily.
I am an avid reader, and read about 10-15 books a month, and do that through 
the Library of Congress program...I can get any book I want that way 
usually.

I am a quick learner, and learned the alphabet very quickly when I was at 
the Blind and Vision Rehabilitation  School  in Homestead, PA. After coming 
home, I did follow up and do some work through Hadly. But finally, I thought 
it is so much more efficient for ME to use technology which works so well 
for me. Instead of writing letters to someone, I email them, or call them on 
the phone and talk in person which to me makes a lot more sense than writing 
a ltter.
