Hi Jamie. first, I think it's relevant to the list to find out which websites work with the bn. Second, we know the braille note isn't a laptop, but that doesn't help us know which websites are workable and which are not. Further, and I have said this before, some people don't have access to a laptop or pc and use their braille notes to access websites, sometimes for school or work. It would be nice if every blind person could have access to all the assistive technology they could possibly want when they wanted or needed it, but, like it or not, that's just not the case. Therefore, any help someone can give a person to access a website or to find a workaround to do so with the bn is definitely relevant to this list as is any topic in which the bn plays a major part. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "jamie crowell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Braillenote List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2003 16:25:25 -0500 >Subject: Re: [Braillenote] www.zap2it.com
