Yes I do have an AIRA subscription. I use it to read the serial numbers off of
laptops for work. I am required to record each serial number and of course they
are just on a printed sticker on the bottom of laptops. I pay $29 per month and
get 30 minutes of service from them.

Well, I can think of an advantage. I forget the name of the company. I think it
might be Eye Rah. At least it sounds like that. Anyway, get their app and you
point the camera phone at pretty much anything and one of their agents tells
you what it is or answers other questions. Like what does that street sign say?
Which shirt am I about to put on? Read these instructions to me. And so forth.

Irvin D. Yalom “Truth," Nietzsche continued, "is arrived at through disbelief
and skepticism, not through a childlike wishing something were so! Your
patient's wish to be in God's hands is not truth. It is simply a child's
wish—and nothing more! It is a wish not to die, a wish for the eveastingly
bloated nipple we have labeled 'God'! Evolutionary theory scientifically
demonstrates God's redundancy—though Darwin himself had not the courage to
follow his evidence to its true conclusion. Surely, you must realize that we
created God, and that all of us together now have killed him.” ― Irvin D.

Roger,
The name of the cell phone I had, just came into my head. It was a Jitterbug
phone. Not a smart phone, just a cell phone that supposedly is easier to use
because of the size of the buttons. I guess I have one more thing to add. If
you have a computer and the latest version of the stream which has GPS, I don't
see what you would need an I phone for except to have the satisfaction of
owning a device that most sighted people own. It's expensive because,
eventually, you'll need to buy an updated model. Owning the latest stuff is
what Capitalism is all about.
