Hi Sara- Thanks for the thanks! I’ll go ahead and send you the manual off the list
(It’s 2 MB,
so I don’t want to send it to the entire list.) That is worrying, that a couple of people are having
problems
opening it up. I’ll contact the webmaster
person. Thanks, Margaret From:

behalf
of Pamela Mathy Margaret, I
am very anxious to have a copy of your manual or making the Laser Pointer,
however, for some reason, I keep getting an error message from Adobe when I
try
to download it from the link you included. Would it be possible to email me
directly the .pdf file? I would be very grateful.
Thanks! Pam Pamela

Behalf Of Margaret Cotts Hi Antoinette- Thank for your kind letter, and your acknowledgement- it
totally
made my day! I have to admit, this manual has been a labor of love.
Now
that I’m done with it, I want to make more
instructions! Some other things I want to make instructions
on- 1.
How
to switch adapt a pager system (it has more range than the ones you can buy
from Enabling Devices) 2.
How
to make a LocLine mounting system. 3.
How
to create a system to connect a telephone directly to a
computer. Amy Roman and I taught a series of 2 day workshops on AAC
for
ALS last year, and as part of it, we showed how to create a laser
pointer. It was a really useful experience, because it made me see
that
everything had to be broken down step by step. (Things that I took
for
granted, like stripping a wire, had to be broken down and
explained.) As an aside, I remember when I first got into this field,
everything felt so new and scary. I called Alisa Brownlee, and she
was so
helpful and generous with her time. I never forgot that. I like
the
idea of professionals sharing their knowledge (like they do on this
listserv)
so that other professionals don’t have to reinvent the
wheel. Take care, and thanks again, Margaret From:

Verdone Margret, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I am itching to make my first laser pointer! Thank you
for
creating such a user friendly document! I know how difficult it is to
present this type of information into an easy to use
format. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate
you
giving the AT community the benefit of what I can only imagine was hours
and
hours of blood, sweat, and tears. On behalf of professionals and patients alike, I applaud your
thoughtfulness
and generosity. Antoinette Verdone, ATP Assistive Technology Specialist ALS Association, Greater New York Chapter 116 John Street, Suite 1304 New York, NY 10038 Phone: 212-720-3054 Fax: 212-619-7409 "One cannot consent to creep when one has the impulse to
