[Ohio-talk] Happy Birthday Louis Braille

[COLLEEN ROTH]

 Hi Mamy,
I do know this. I am on the HIMS List.
I believe that this problem may also be occurring on some Humanware Products.
Apparently they use the same suppliers for their displays.
At lbst this is what I am getting from some lists right now.
