Hi Christine
No, I don't know Jackie, but having just
Checked old emails I find it was Lucy Naismith that did my first
Demonstration. I think she's sales manager for the North.
Martin is training manager.
Were you impressed with DBC I love the idea of being abel to
Send and receive text messages in Braille.
Regards, Derek

Hi Derek, wow, I've got the DBC from HumanWare and am due a training day
with Jackie Hall...I do hope this isn't the lady who can't read braille?
I
do understand that Martin Griffiths is a braille user as he was originally
coming to train me, but unfortunately became unwell...Maybe Stupidly in
panic, I asked for a female as I'm no use at listening to a deeper male
voice and wondered why I'd ever agreed a male for a whole day training,
sure
it would have been a huge strain on me--but now, I'm wondering if I've let
go of a Really experienced person?
I hope you or someone can reassure me I've done the right thing for me?
Regards, Christine.

Hi Jackie
I have changed subject line a I think there is room for a wider
Debate on some issues here.
I understand all you are saying and I was surprised nobody can read
Grade 2 Braille. But then just a sec, maybe not surprised!
Few weeks ago I had a demonstration by Humanware of a new
Package aimed at the deafblind. They call is DBC I think
Stands for deafblind communicator.
Anyway the lady that gave me the demonstration didn't seem to know
Braille! And this caused some confusion!
So after that failed demonstration Alan Davis came to me,
Not too sure if he knows Braille, but he certainly was far better
At explaining what he was showing me.
I am now told the trainer will be a guy called
Martin (I forget his surname) works for Humanware in UK.
A don't think a sighted driver would be happy for a car
Salesman to be a non driver, so to a point I agree There is a need
for those that sell Braille displays, to know Both grade 1 and 2
Braille.
I do not accept the person must be blind, because there are
Many sighted people out there that know Braille very well.
Regards, Derek
