Dear Bookshare Volunteer friends,
Being without a Braille Note, computer or similar,
often used electronic
device can be disorienting. That lost, desperate to
get it back, feeling is
like what some people experience when their tee veez
or cars konk out. What
about your to do list, validating, your ongoing
shopping list, the novel
that was getting really good, the e mail messages
piling up. What about e
mail where you don't have to leave a message at the
tone, because your post
"is" the message.
It's even hard to wait when it isn't your own
devices on the blink, but a
friends. No more e mail on a whim, pass along
humor,alerts to special offers
and casual commentary.
Do you think there's any hope of convincing
Bookshare's manufacturer to
issue loaners while they take weeks to repair and
return our ailing
hardware?
For the moment both my computer and Braille Note are
working. In
appreciation, and because these ideal circumstances
could change any minute,
I'm off to order something from Amazon, to catch up
on my in box, to listen
to more of, " A Literary Christmas," from Bookshare
and to validate!
Always with love,
Lissi
