yes, but the I pad is not a phone ----- Original Message ----- From: "Moderator" <modera...@jaws-users.com> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 3:47 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Modification to the guidelines
Hi Alan, If we don't draw the line somewhere, this list will be nothing more than a copy of the blind-tech list, which was not my desire when I created this list in 2007. At the time the list was started,the focus was laptops and desktop PCs and their peripherals. Now that the list belongs to Dave, he will always have the final say in any decision and the management team will follow his lead. If you think about it, technically, most of todays electronics can be considered computers of sorts, but they are not within the scope of this list. Cel phones may be used for many things these days, but they are still phones. HTH, Richard Q.

The documentation has not started as of yet, just giving you folks a heads up. Phones will still be off topic but I pads and such devices will most likely be allowed. Obviously we will let you know the final decision. David Ferrin Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones that mind don't matter.
