OK, thanks, I know they made one that you enter the zip code and it scans 
what you want that is a touch screen and a friend of mine got it. It is all 
touch screen, I'm glad that's not the one he got because with that one, 
there isn't even any reaction when you touch a button it just does what you 
touch with no audio feedback at all. My sighted friend likes it but he 
showed it to me and there was nothing I could do with it.
