>> 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.
