Hello, I don't know you and of course not the person you lost. Nonetheless, I'm sorry for your loss. And of course, in the scheme of things, this is a little fish in a small pond of course. Next, when people are not informed of what has happened, why it has happened and whether it can be rectified somehow, then it can be expected that people will be upset over losing a valued resource. Communication in this context from NLS would have made a big difference I think. I mean, if you can trumphet a new and exciting program, you can certainly notify people when it goes down.

In the face of that, Web Braille not functioning is a small problem. Perhaps some of you should consider what you still have, rather than what you are not able to do temporarily. Life is what matters! Share the best you have, while you still have time! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 8:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] reading books Slow down you all! Just because they are down for a day or two, does not mean it will be for ever. Be patient. They could have had a crash or be dealing with a virus. We do not know. Give them some time before you start griping to them. All sites have problems sometimes. I am sure we all have more constructive things to do. Give them a chance. They have done a lot for all of us.

I hope that they're back soon too! May I suggest Gutenberg, blackmask, Baen books, Braille.org I think it's called? If you've a mind to buy books, try: http://store.yahoo.com/samizdat Yep, truly a pain this is indeed! Ann P. -- Ann K.
