Books
This company publishes various works of fiction on  disk, by authors with more creative freedom.  Not in business  to serve blind computer users, but instead they do it for sighted ones.  There is no reason why blind people cannot make equally easy use of their publications.  In fact, I don't think   they ever thought about blind folks reading their disks.  Their  prices run from $5.00 to $10.00 per book, plus $1.00  shipping per novel.  They also seem to be looking for authors  to publish on disk.  At those prices, no author would make more than $2.87 per novel!

Yes, the old Arkenstone seems to be making the      one-time (Only Kid on the Block), Kurzweil, scratch its economical head in awe.  For at the time of creation of this nice informative database you are now using.  which incidentally, is early 1990.  Arkenstone is really out there      beating the bushes.  And possibly everyone else, for that       matter.  Jim Fruchterman, President.

Braille Printers
Manufacturer of the Romeo RB-20 and RB-40 braille   printers currently priced at $2,995 and $3,795 respectively.     They charge $60 shipping which is much too high for UPS ground.  $20 would be fair.  I am very impressed with the Romeo owner's manual which has excellent  service instructions, which      definitely sets the standard in this industry.  The competition doesn't even come close.  With its 9 solenoids, 16 configurations, excellent screen dump, as well as graphics   capability, the RB-40 is hard to beat.  Highly recommended.   Enabling should reconsider their braille paper prices, though.  Don't have heart failure when you     discover that their 32 pound braille paper is $65.00 for 1,500 sheets.

One thing that differentiates this company from many   of the other software vendors, is that they seem to have many    programs on 3.5 inch disks.  And their prices aren't high      either.  For example, at this writing:  How about Q&A for  $229.00 or 386 Max for $75.00?  WordPerfect?  No matter.  You  won't want it anyway after you've tried Q&A.

High shipping and ridiculously high prices.  No braille, cassette, or disc catalogs available.  This, in particular, is one bitch of a way to do business, especially when you consider that many of us sent them $1.00 several years ago to help supplement their catalog on disc.  And what  was the result?  They quit producing it on disc, print only. One hell of a handy medium for us blind customers, wouldn't you say?  Did I say customers?  Sorry.

Brass Monkey
The expression It's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey has been around for years.  But now-and don't laugh-you can actually own Chilburr, a four-inch-tall brass monkey whose balls (and tail) can be set to drop off at any temperature between 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 50 degrees below zero.  And they can be reattached to drop off again and again.  Chilburr can be ordered from the above address, and he   costs $26.95 at this writing.  Look out, the temperature's dropping!
