Have you checked with Independent Living Aids? They carried them years ago. I haven't checked in a few years.
Just a thought.

Good evening, everyone:
I'm so frustrated and flummoxed
! I can't find these plastic 3x5 index cards anywhere, and it's driving me crazy! I can't even find the email for my order, so I can't say for sure where I got them, though I could have sworn it was from the NFB market! I'm definitely going to keep looking, as I would like to buy more of them.
Thanks,
Ari
