Hi Everyone
I used to want a braille and speek.  A few years ago my computer teacher
told me about the Braille Note.  My office could not afford it, but we
waited, it seamed like for ever, for NIH to join the CAP problem.  I had to
work for almost 19 years with out my BN and Braille Printer.  My Braille
Note is my PRIDE AND JOY.  I know my sight is slowly getting worse so after
I learn how to work my baby, I will not have to depend on large print so
much for phone numbers.  The calendar will also be very helpful in the
office and outside.
Thanks for joining us Jonathan.
Terry Powers

xHello Jonathan:

I've been following your dialog with Gary and honestly kind of dissappointed
in your comments.  What I hear you saying in not so many words is let's keep
the blind comunity to itself and let the sighted world be by itself.  smile

I work for a educational software company doing tech support right along
with the sighted people and through the developement of screen readers am
able to keep up with my sighted co-workers.

I really haven't heard you say to the list but when you were hosting Main
Menu it was in my opinion all about the blind comunity which is greate but
we have to work in conjunction with sighted people and not separately.

Having said all that, I feel by your below statement meaning going to Pocket
PC etc is a downgrade? I think not and that's why I'm disappointed by your
statement below.  This constant talking about blind and sighted is sad and
in my work, I'm glad I live in the real world.
