Hi,
At newegg.com, we found a really killer Xerox scanner for the same price as
the Canon so we canceled the order for the first one and bought the second.
The newegg.com people are really good with returns so if we hate the Xerox
one, we can send it back. The Drupal book will be the first test case.
Susan has agreed to go through the scanned book and add textual
augmentations for graphics and such. Although an attorney and not a hacker
at all, Sue is quite technical and very good at text descriptions when she
reads things to me.
Does anyone here have ideas into how to demark textual annotations so the
reader will know that the text in a section does not exist in the printed
book but, rather is a description added by a volunteer who may misinterpret
the graphic or make some other mistake in the language selected for
description?
ho ho,
cdh

Hello,
For me a reliable and eficient way of distributting IT books for
blinds is totally related to blindprogramming. You guys know me and
you know I don't fall out of rules here and I help everyone when I
can, but I don't have to read posts from people who don't know they're
in a blindprogramming list, not a programming list .. This said I
would like to know who is the moderator here. If the moderator Is
Mateu then I am leaving the list, but if the moderator is another
person as I think it is them Mateu should be warned to don't act as
one of them saying who is or who is not off topic. I can tolerate
Mateu messages, sinse my spam list will get all of them and send them
to gmail's /dev/null ... but I also think the moderators here should
warn nom-moderators to stop actingh as if they were one.
And, as this message is about the list internal working, it is not off
topic.
Marlon
