This doesn't help your current situation and I don't want to get into any ACB/NFB conflicts but you might want to bring up to someone at ACB about putting the program out ahead of time. The NFB was resistant to this for a very long time but as of last year started putting it up on the website before hand. This was requested because there are so many people that use technology that would like it in electronic form plus many people were able go through it and set the meetings they wanted to go to as appointments in their calendars and have reminders alarms. Those using the calendar method were people using notetakers, PDAs, and even cell phones.
So again, not to bring the conflict issue but people really love the electronic versions no matter what organization they are a part of. Did you try asking ACB if they could forward you an electronic copy since you do not have a cd drive? I personally have not heard of external cd drives being usb but I could be wrong. I really hope you get an answer to your problem. Another option might be to ask someone that uses a laptop when you get to convention to email it to you from your copy of the cd they give you. Good luck.
