Hey Alan, I actually met you in Miami at one of your ACT (Access Computer
Technology) meetings back in 1989-1991 timeframe, I believe it was held at
Ruby Tuesdays, at a mall (Can't remember it's name, but think it's Mall of
Americas). Just thought I'd say hi.
Rod

Subject: I met Ted Henter in 1990

Dear Friends,
Well, I met Ted Henter in November 1990 when he came to a Blind Computer 
Users Group I had founded here in Miami.
He basically came to say he was developing a Screen Reading software.

I must tell you, I did not take him very serious, nor did I think many of 
the nearly 30 attendents did

I actually chuckled to myself of course, when he took the speakers stand and

started his presentation, "How does this guy think he can go up against 
Digital Equipment Company, DEC Talk, the IBM Screen Reader, Giant 
corporations that could throw as much money into their Screen reading 
software programs as they cared to".

I had not a clue that he was on to something fantastic!
I remember him as a very kind soft spoken, cordial gentleman.
I am so glad it worked out for him, and us!

With Best Regards,
Alan
