If Jennifer Justice is a real name - god bless the person who christened or
named you!

From time to time it is just such a small but kindly comment that refuels
the tank.

I dont want and  cannot afford to hire lawyers. There should be no cost to
challenging a US Patent application - as I understand it, it only requires
that the lawyers of the applicants are shown that 'prior art' existed before
the application and they are duty bound to pass this information to the US
PO.  I have done that but the lawyers will not reply! That was partly my
reason for putting the publication list on
www.tactileaudio.com/publications.htm .As you see I have included copy of
this letter to each of the parties, Landau, CUNY (City University of New
York and the lawyers Darby & Darby). I have been in touch with US PO now and
will keep you all posted as to the developments.

 NFB do indeed know of TGD and only a month ago had  a demonstration of  it
in Baltimore following CSUN. I didn't give it - David "Bumpy" Skrivanek did
so by invitation I understand.

If any readers know of Nomad, know of TGD, whether you like it or not does
NOT matter (except its sad if you dont) do please make your concerns known.

Let me make something absolutely clear - I do not care about the competition
of the talking tablet, there are others now - SAL and soon Dr. John
Gardner's approach linked to TIGER - these people were honest and open
enough to talk with me. Dr. Sally Mangold (of SAL) even discussed her
Braille teaching ideas with me and I recall advising her to use a Keytec
tablet - as we have done for years. Dr. John Gardner is a physicist, he
became blind around 1991 I believe. We met at APH in around 1993. He was
very encouraging to me about Nomad (as it then was) and we have been in
touch ('scuse pun) since. Duxbury, perhaps the most well known and loved of
all companies in this field also assisted Sally's developments and they
include our TGD SIG files as uploadable to Duxbury and they distribute some
TGD (though not the talking stuff!). How come this group in New York are so
out of touch!

John Gardner's  new device will be a strong competitor - that doesn't
matter - but untruthful claims and more are another matter. In the end I
want blind people of all ages in all countries to read pictures - and enjoy
them as much as we do - even study them! Even make them - and they can and
have ALWAYS been able to do that with Nomad and TGD. See the article by
Monica Brull of Argentina and I in The World Blind 1997 - "It may not be
easy but it is possible" as Monica wrote on her first drawing!

I'd better stop - I'm becoming dangerous!

Jennifer Justice - thank you.
