A message from Gayle Yarnall, Director, Perkins Products:
Welcome to the lighter side of Perkins Products. This part of our website is also known as "hints for real life". We will cover real life and how blind people cope with the situations that occur about fifty times a day. I do not claim that all the ideas you find here will be mine. I will take them from any place I find them. Be careful what you say to me because it may show up here. Some of these were submitted by other blind people. If you read this you will know who you are. Thanks for your help.

How About "Talking Books"?
Here I am again talking about books. I am sure, by now, you have all guessed I care about this subject just a little. I want to talk more about the ability to download NLS BARD books on to blank cartridges.
Two great products find each other
