[gui-talk] looking for Saco braille watch

[Bud Schwab]

Hi Anthony,

Actually, I've had this watch for a number of years now and it still 
works very  well.  The reason I'm getting a new one is that this one 
is getting pretty battered looking and my wife decided I should 
replace it, so who am I to argue with one's wife?  Actually I've 
never changed the battery myself but have had it changed a couple times.
