Therefore counselors are having to figure out ways to stretch the small change they get to jingle around for job related technology.

So, the traveler would prefer something which can beslipped into a shirt pocket rather than something which needs its own receptacle to be carried on board an aircraft. Up until January I commuted several times a year between Cincinnati, Ohio and Phoenix, Arizona and took the poking and prodding in my backpack as a matter of course. At any given time I would have a Braille Note, A Cell phone, a Laptop, and an Optacon with me and I would have loved to have shed at least 2 of those products for one convenient device.
