Is that a handheld unit? Yes, it is. I own it's precedecessor, and I'm very happy with it. It takes a little doing setting it up, but once you do you'll be happy with it.

I'm glad you decided to join NNBT's reading club. When you get a reply from Lois Baskerville about it and write to her again, tell her I said hello. I'm also glad to know your home housekeeping help is working out well for you and your mother. As for the information about the 1-800 e-mail, I really don't feel I should try using it because it is a free service for people with disabilities. So, if you will e-mail me a note from there to anne.page@psl-online.com so that I can see your e-mail address, I will store it in my address list so that I can write to you from the board I am on.

LM>>I have recently become an Avon representative. LM>>Unfortunately, there is a new catalog that comes out every two weeks. Why not ask the company to put the text on floppy disks and mail them to you as well as sending you the actual catalog to show to customers? Tell the person to whom you are talking that you will be glad to provide the disks. When one arrives, you can transfer the material to your computer hard drive, erase the disk, and send it back to the company for re-use.
