[stylist] New roller tip

[Judith Bron]

Bridgit, This tip relays information on a larger area than the mushroom tip. 
Yes, I tried the metal tip and hated it.  I guess it's all what you're used 
to.  I learned on a rolling tip and that's what I'm used to.  My new tip is 
better on relaying information about the surface I'm traveling .  At least 
in my town the streets and sidewalks are poorly maintained.  I find this 
additional information a treasure not to be taken lightly.  Judith  -----

> My husband just got me a new tip for my cane.  It's called "Ambutech
