Ian, My comments were spoken in general terms from conversation and research I had done awhile ago. The issue at hand is to have a device that is ADA compliant and not a quick fix to the problem. I certainly did not mean to imply what we were using for the immediate demos was to be our solution. Our search must continue. Barry -----Original Message----- From: Ian S.

Is our search for a telephone style keypad a waste of time?

We can have not been able to find one in the phone orientation at all of the local places, ie Best Buy, CompUSA etc. Larry J.

I'm sure you are aware of this. The unit recieved is a 10 keypad off a computer keyboard, with keys laid out in different config. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Knecht To: Larry Dix ; Don@gesn.com ; Jeff Hallmark Cc: Frank Kaplan ; Barry Herron Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2001 11:06 AM Subject: VIBS 10key pad The 10-keypad I received on Saturday for our demonstration at the Secretary of State's Technology day arrived. I tested it this AM. Each time I place a vibs voter card into the machine and respond to a candidate position - it CANCELs the ballot. This does not appear to lend itself to a demonstration. Are there some special instructions I'm missing? We've got to have a working 10 key pad for this week and next.
