[Nfb-krafters-korner] Color Scanners; was -- patience, patience, patience

[Eileen Scrivani]

I don't know if NFB's store sells them or not, but in any case you can go to 
the APH's web site and get the information on color scanners.  I think the 
web site for them is www.aph.org or maybe aph.com

Maybe someone else on the list knows for certain, else just google APH and 
you'll get the web site.
