Hi Laura Ann, Okay I'll put my two cents in I'm a total, lost my sight at 7 in a car accident. Grew up back in the Detroit area attending special ed classes in grade school and local schools after that. Background. Play acoustic guitar, mostly 12 string these days and write and sing. Got into computers back in the early 90's when I was running a recording studio and playing professionally. My first computer was a Macintosh SE30. What a powerhouse. 16mhz, 2 meg of ram and a vault of a hard drive..40 meg:-) These days I have a number of interests and things I am involved in. Work at OHSU here in Portland OR as a helpdesk analyst. Working with both Reiki and Reconnective energy work. www.thereconnection.com <http://www.thereconnection.com/> . Also do numerology charts and now working with a vitamin company called Agel and the Prosperity Automated System, "PAS". IN all my free time I dragon boat, which is a team paddling sport which is extremely popular now on the west coast but in other areas of the country too. I also enjoy reading and am involved as a volunteer on this cool site called Bookshare! www.bookshare.org <http://www.bookshare.org/> :) giggle Katie Hill Kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx AIM SStarAngel 503-358-3547 Expand your wealth at 838gold.com The greatest problem in communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished. - George Bernard Shaw Katie Hill Kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Agape Pet Sitting Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 8:29 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] blind or sighted and more about each other I am blind with light perception only and use jaws and Kursweil but have an older copy of open book from early 2000.
