[blindkid] Orion TI 36x talking calculator question

[Andy & Sally Thomas]

I actually called and emailed the manufacturer with no response.  I was 
going to ask APH to check one they had in inventory but my husband said, 
"let's ask blindkid--someone will know."  And sure enough, Pat came through. 
I've been wondering about how to mark the chargers since our collection has 
been growing by leaps and bounds but I wanted David to be in charge of the 
chargers and I don't like Dymo tape too much.  I've been meaning to label 
things with braillables but hadn't done it yet.  I guess I should label them 
for my convenience right away!
