[Athen] Help!! Low vision and music scores

[Patrick Burke]

Let the record show that Bill McCann does have a low-vision solution. 
Sounds to me like a high-roller option: a portable flat-panel unit 
called Lime Lighter Leggiero. Marketed to performers, so aiming for 
the speed & portability that they would need.

Unfortunately the Dancing Dots site is down at the moment...
