> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE > > June, 2008 > > Michael Feir creates a free computer guide for blind people with a unique > style and focus. He wants more to start using computers and the Internet > for personal pursuits. > > Many blind people have the mistaken impression that computers are strictly > tools for work and education only. They needlessly miss out on > opportunities for pleasure and personal growth which have made a profound > difference in his life. After encountering countless blind people with > expensive machines who only used them for basic reading and writing tasks, > the creator of Audyssey Magazine began work on Personal Power. This free > guide is the culmination of a two-year quest to rectify this situation. > Written as more of a traveller's gazette than a manual, Personal Power > offers a fun and easy entrance into digital life beyond education and > work. Housed in a rich text file which can be opened on practically any > modern computer, Personal Power makes for a small but informative portable > partner in fun time. From the very basics of using Windows, Personal Power > takes blind owners of accessible computers beyond their hard drives onto > the information superhighway. Topics as diverse as online shopping, > accessible computer games, computer defence and maintenance, blog's, > email, instant messengers, and much more are discussed. > > Comprising a total of around fifty thousand words, the guide strikes a > balance of providing enough information to inspire the confidence to > explore further without overloading newcomers to digital life with > excessive techno speak. The focus is on making people aware of the many > possibilities for leisure and personal growth through sharing many of my > own experiences. Why not get your digital feet wet?
