I tried to get on the prcvi site and it locked me out needing a password.

As a VI teacher responsible for high school material, I am very excited to see 
the prcvi site listed below. I have just begun to explore it, but I definitly 
wish I had known about it before my students took biology. The quality and 
depth of materials looks excellent. It is done with Corel draw, I was able to 
download and open without having Corel. Getting the braille sizing just right 
may be a little tricky, but could be redone if necessary. This would have saved 
me a lot of time creating diagrams. I can't wait to check out to see if they 
have calculus and physics. 
Thanks so much for sending the information.
