[Ohio-talk] FW: Question for NFB

[Colleen Roth]

Hi,
I just think that Mr. Gotlieb should have given a description of the clock and why it is so great on his post.
I am not really interested in going to a link to read about it.
If it is so great, Mr. Gotlieb, just tell us why.
I do not want to know about the limited time for marketing. It will either sell itself or not.
Personally I think the clocks we have now are fine.
Please spend your time telling about the features.
Colleen Roth
President
At Large Chapter,
NFB of Ohio
