Dear Myrna, thanks so much for this very generous offer. Russell would be touched. Knowing how good you are as a trainer, I highly encourage anyone needing help with their BrailleNote to contact you. I have also passed on your message to Russell's family.

Therefore, I'll try again. As so many people were, I was also saddend bythe the untimely death of Russell Smith and his wife. 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.
