I bought one of these for a Christmas gift for my Dad but got it months in advance so I could learn how to use it, make sure it worked well with the PC and would be easy to use and teach my Dad (you know how that goes).

So as law partners they now had matching toys!! And my Dad showed it off to everyone at different holiday gatherings. It was easy to teach him and it functions very well.

My aunt is thinking of buying one for her mother because she has a hard time reading the small print on menus in dark restaurants and the pen reads aloud what you have scanned. Fun!!

I'm planning on getting one for myself when I return to Grad school. Oh the reasons for buying new toys is endless!!
