Hi, I am on the Blind Tech list, and see lots and lots and lots and finally! lots! of posts from Gene. While he may be klolidgeable, and may know what he is doing,there are times when he doesn't. Sometimes, I find that the way he says seems to be presneted the wrong way, like he thinks he knows everything. That might not be what it it is intended to be, but that's the way it seems to be, at least, in my opinion. There have ben many times when I have corrected him on sthings, and I've almost sstarted arguements with mim, not on purpose. one time, for example, was the system requirements for Windows XP. Not trying to go too much off topic, bbut, I do think htat he needs to try things before he comes to conclusions. I don't use a Mac yet, which, is why I don't post much here. I am learning stuff on here every day, and I thank yall for it. Keep up the great work! Voice Over is awesome!

Its for discussion of technology plus other things and is a world wide mailing list but gets very American at times so I'm no longer on it for now at least. This guy is listened to by many blind people and he is knowledgable. My mail probram, Eudora, filtered out the forwarded message with his comments but an E-mail to him with constructive points to his comments and info to point him in the right direction may be a good start instead of slating him from the off.
