[nfbmi-talk] FYI _ The APH SMART Brailler by Perkins

[joe harcz Comcast]

Hi Derek,

This looks like a great tool. Two questions here:

1. Do you have a link for more info on this?
2. Do folks think it might be a good idea to have Perkins display this and 
other items at our State Convention in October?

Best,

Joe
