Post stealers! :-)


Word Lens was not designed to read books, although it can read a few individual words.

this tool will greatly affect my stays in Mexico. Just going down the to the market ...it will be useful.....no more "this beef hash tastes like Alpo" and it is Alpo dog food!




Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
