I can't believe they still sell the scholar.
"every time I say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear"

The Friday Morning Podcast
<http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/FredsHeadCompanion/%7E3/u2DVUmwbXR4/friday-morning-podcast.html>

The following information comes from Top Tech Tidbits
<http://www.topdotenterprises.com/tidbits.htm> and is posted here for
your convenience.
Bill Boules has launched what he calls the Friday Morning Podcast, which
often appears on other days. He does some adaptive technology training
and discusses favorite topics of his. He actively seeks feedback. Recent
episodes have discussed the Amazon mp3 site and the Scrip Talk method
for labeling prescriptions.
"I have been an access technology specialist for several years. My goal
is to provide the best possible computer training to people who are
blind, or have low vision. I have been a computer user since the late
1980s and have provided training to blind professionals nationwide. One
of the things I like most is recording the podcast and reading listener
feedback. It is important to me to have feedback so that I make
necessary changes in the way that I provide training. I want people to
subscribe to the podcast and enjoy learning about the great world of
assistive technology. Additionally, I try to add some fun to the
podcast. It's great to learn but it shouldn't be a chore. I feel that I
can make technology fun and useful to folks that are new to it."
