I sure will back that one up sammie! Seville was my teacher a while ago and we still keep in tutch. She is great and Rhonda is a bundle of knoledge, just like Sarah and Sarai. There sure are many more out there. The lady that used to work for what was Pulsedata at that time. She came up with solutions to many things, about the time that 5.0 came out. I have many of her e-mails. Terry Powers

More often than not, Rhonda is right. She's the only person "I Know" who has completely read all the manuals and can go to the section that will answer your questions. If she is not sure, she checks before suggesting anything. Also, "TO MY KNOWLEDGE" she and seville Allen are the best and most patient teachers of this technology. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Donna Kesterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Braillenote List <[email protected] >Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 08:07:48 -0800 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Bookshare Again >Terry, >No, with the NLS site, you do not have to unzip the books, but Rhonda was talking about Bookshare, which is a totally different site from NLS. >And Rhonda is correct. >Donna >> ----- Original Message ----- >>From: "Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>To: 'Braillenote List' <[email protected] >>Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 09:01:45 -0400 >>Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Bookshare Again >>Sarah; >>Please get me strait.
