Hi Eleanor No I know you weren't. Don't know about anyone else, but I miss good old Tandy. They always had things like recorders and leads. I know Maplin is a good outlet, but I loved Tandy as they had some really useful kit, and most towns had one on the High Street.

Even the cheapest Olympis is in my opinion excellent though of course if people want speech on it, it is a no goer but for messages and phone numbers which are then transferred at a later date I would think excellent. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 11:37 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Cheap note taker for phone messages > Hi Eleanor > > I'm not RNIB bashing, just being honest.
