WOWEE!!
Sharon's question about whether the CSUN conference is
just blindness related or all kinds of tech exhibits
led me to google to see if there was still something
up from last year's conferendce, and lo-and-behold,
there's already info bout this year's. I've pasted the
annoucement and the URL below, but Guess What!~ Our
Jim Fruchterman will be the keynote speaker!!!
It's a Technology and & Prsons with Disabilities
Conference and will be from March 10 - 15, 2008.
I hope I can come to hear Jim's talk, but it probably
will be too early in the morning or in the evening.
