Rhonda; I am not trying to down grade anyone. I am trying to say that I have always had to depend on the Doors or the Government to get my equipment. Most of it I did not get until I had worked for about 18 years. I have now worked 20 years and thanks to Humanware I can actually do the transplant myself. Hopefully they will save parts and make new units for lower incomed people than me. Maybe those in foreign country. Those doing the complaining, we do not know what they are going to do with the parts. They could make nice voice notes for needy students, who do not need the more advanced tecknology. Many others mention the NFB all the time. I do not claim my message to be downgrading anyone. To each his own.

Terry, what does being a member of the NFB have to do with this conversation? I'm glad they got you your job, I'm glad they paid for your BN. You're one of the very lucky people. There are many people out there who haven't received anything, and I mean anything. Yes, you are blessed. This is exactly what Kathy is saying. Why not let the people who are struggling get something. I could get in so much trouble with the moderator, so I'm going to quit talking. I know, I promised this once before. I think arrogance has no place. Chewing people out also has no place. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
