@TSchulte @mcourcel I went for a computer assessment today. What an absolute shit show that was. The guy had absolutely no idea what he was doing, had to call his boss on facetime for help, sent me completely to the wrong location in the wrong area of town, and to make matters worse the guy who was a low partial absolutely stank to high heavens. He fit every stereotype of an unhygienic blindy.

@Cam @TSchulte Where was this? Disgusting!

@mcourcel @TSchulte it was here in Belleville. It was in a very nondescript dumpy office building. The office was about the size of an average bedroom. He said it was quite literally a storage room that they had converted into an office.

@TSchulte @mcourcel he's a newbie to doing assessments. He took over for the guy who used to do them. Not sure where he is now, but strangely enough he went to W Ross the same time as I did. He hung around with myself, Steve Wettlaufer, and our other friends Bob and Randy.

@Cam @mcourcel Why would you want a scanner when your phone will scan better and easier?

@TSchulte @Cam Because it's annoying to do it with a smart phone. I like flat bed scanners.

@mcourcel @Cam Oh I don't have a problem doing it with my phone. I guess if it's a whole document it's a bit of a pain, but I'm just used to it now!

@Cam @mcourcel they're kind of awesome!

@TSchulte @mcourcel if I could get them on and installment plan, I might consider it. What are they? 350 bucks? I don't have that kind of cash in my back pocket.

@Cam @TSchulte Hmm, a company might have it on affirm, but I would wait for the next itteration. Battery life isn't that great.

@mcourcel @Cam @TSchulte while the battery life might not be that great, all I can say is what do you expect from a 150ma battery? that is all that battery is. I am thinking they went with a very small battery so that they still looked like sun glasses without parts of them bulging out do to a bigger battery. I would absolutely love a bigger battery, but considering what is in them, it isn't all that bad. and they charge up in I think at most 75 miknutes.

@TSchulte @Cam really? Interesting.

@singingnala @mcourcel @Cam I don't have room on my desk for one of those, so mine's in my closet way at the back!

@TSchulte @mcourcel @Cam I don't have a desk right now, so mine's in a packing bin. My roomy says she'll help me find a desk. It just hasn't happened yet.

@mcourcel @singingnala @TSchulte I guess with most desktops being solid-state drives now, the CPU is probably not much of a tower anymore. I'm assuming that's what I'll get. I just pretty much did the paperwork today. Dealing with the vendor is next.

@Cam @mcourcel @singingnala @TSchulte wonder how many vendors are left. can only think of a couple but I haven't looked lately either.

@mcourcel @singingnala @TSchulte @bmoore123 I'm going with HT Consulting out of Hamilton. I heard they're good.

@Cam @mcourcel @singingnala @TSchulte yeah, I have done work for them but they seem to be one of the few left. did they actually give you a list of vendors?

@singingnala @bmoore123 @mcourcel @TSchulte They said they would've but I already had them in mind.

@bmoore123 @TSchulte @munchkinbear @mcourcel I will. Jill seems really nice.

@Cam @bmoore123 @TSchulte @mcourcel jill's amazing. She'll find every way to squeeze the most out of the authorized funds, she'll make the funds scream.

@munchkinbear @Cam @bmoore123 @mcourcel And that's great because some vendors won't do that.

@TSchulte @munchkinbear @Cam @bmoore123 Yup, we used to have a great vendor out in Toronto that would do the same thing. I miss him.

@mcourcel @Cam @TSchulte @munchkinbear yep, it works better when the person doing the paying isn't stealing all the money

@vol4life8657 @mcourcel @TSchulte @Cam Oh yay! I didn't know so many of us were in the pearl club. Lol.

@TSchulte @singingnala @mcourcel @vol4life8657 if you put a bunch of those cameras together you could make a pearl necklace.

@Cam @TSchulte @singingnala @vol4life8657 Yup, you went there. As expected.

@mcourcel @Cam @singingnala @vol4life8657 yeah Cam you're so predictable. lol

@TSchulte @vol4life8657 @mcourcel @singingnala *sigh*. I know. I've gotta work on changing it up a bit.

@Cam @vol4life8657 @mcourcel @singingnala at least we know where your mind always is. lol

@TSchulte @vol4life8657 @mcourcel @singingnala true that.

@Cam @vol4life8657 @singingnala @mcourcel oh now that's aweful!

@mcourcel @Cam @vol4life8657 @TSchulte Oh brother. Not that. Rofl.

@Cam @mcourcel OH fair! I just got the mantis, because I do want a braille display for broadcasting, and it's the best of both worlds!

@TSchulte @mcourcel you guys will get a kick out of this though. The shit hole office building where I went today was between an axe throwing range, and a pot shop. Probably not a good idea to visit one right after the other.

@mcourcel @Cam @TSchulte We have Kurzweil 3000 in our AT center at the college where I work. It is so clunky!
