Hi KC, As usual, I empathize, but I can tell you that as a member of the CCB convention committee, There are a miriad of issues that have to be considered when chooxing hotels, etc., and I won't even begin to go there on this list. I am not on the ACB convention committee, so I can't speak for them, so I do not know if the system was tested with note takers, or even tested at all, or if it was, and it was decided that this was a low priority, but I can gell you that if you ever get involved with planning conventions, you will be swamped with enough detail to send you over the edge, and you do have to prioritize, i. e. is WIFI access for the deaf blind more important, than room rates, facility layout, easy access to eating places, easy access to airport, rail or bus station, well, you can see what I'm getting at. Andy

(Before anyone misunderstands, I mean ANY convention/Conference, aimed at blind or deaf-blind consomers.) I understand there was a similar access problem at the AADB National event in MD, this past June.
