Hello David, This is Fina Currey. I'm sure you've seen me bouncing around here all the time as I'm on allot of the same lists you're on. I was wondering, do you have an ftp server and if so, I was wondering if I might request access to your server. I do have an ftp server and of course, would be glad to recipricate. Thanks in advance. In friendship, Fina [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ferrin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 08, 2009 7:19 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] dictionaries and spell checkers in word > Thank you, I'll put this on the pile of what is laughingly called my to > do > list so to speak.
