Let's just be careful with association. I like thinking of this list as an
unincorporated sort of entity. We welcome all idiologies,
approaches, learning styles, etc, and I feel that tighing us too closely to
the various federations, associations, etc, might not be
the best of moves.
Just a thought
Take care,
Sina

Thanks Ken! there you go guys. A really, really simple but powerful action.
Just attach this list to some popular website for the blind and visually
disabled and spread the word!
Oh ya, students get all kinds of goodies from some companies ie. Microsoft
if they only know where and how to get them.
Now, who has a professional website? What about one of theNational
Federations or Associations etc...
They have sites visited by many blind folks in many professional fields and
are well known by many in the Accessibility Community. They are also likely
to be one of the first sites visited by newly blind students with computers.
One more might be the NLSB or other groups who provide text books and, or,
translation services to educational institutions and students.
