I was fortunate to have the opportunity to >meet him at a couple of conferences during these past years. If it >weren't for Russell Smith, all of us wouldn't be sending nor receiving >messages from this list because there wouldn't be a Braillenote for us >to discuss. Since I received the e-mail, I have been pondering on what >I could do to honor his memory. I finally got an idea. I think that >Russell Smith would want all of us to take advantage of the many >features the family of BrailleNote products offers. There are probably >people on this list who would really like to do that, but, they need >help with some of those features. Some people don't know where to get >training and others know where to get it, but, they can't afford the >fees that training would involve. I have been using and teaching >assistive technology since 1980 and in 2000, I was one of the original >beta testers of the BrailleNote. Therefore, to honor the memory of >Russell Smith, I would to offer four of you a one hour instruction >session each on one or two areas of any of the BrailleNote family of >products. Of course, there will be no charge. If any of the four >people I choose live in the New York Metropolitan area, you and I will >meet somewhere. If any of you live anywhere else in the United States, >we will do the session by phone. We have free long distance from >Verizon, but, only in the United states. So, if any of you are >interested, please e-mail me at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and tell me >in what areas you would like help. If I get e-mail from less than four >people, I will give each person with whom I work more time. >Myrna >-- >Email services by FreedomBox.
