Agreed George, and sometimes you may even get someone with some knowledge of
access technology;  it's a bit of a lottery, but my experience of the RNIB
volunteer service is extremely good.  Don't forget they are volunteers, and
if you have the cash and want to call someone out, that's your choice.

Hi James,

In some cases with RNIB's volunteers it can very much be the luck of the
draw.

There are quite a few of the volunteers whose full time job is in the I.T.
field, and so are well qualified to assist.

George.

Let me say first that I am not trying to insult anyone here. Why bother with
someone from the RNIB though? I would much rather have a qualified
technician to come and fix my computer issues. I may have to pay, but at
least I would know I would be getting what I paid for.

Hi Catherine
I know you are having a lot of problems with your laptop but would you
consider getting in an RNIB volunteer.  It is often possible to sort things
out, even if it means reloading Windows and starting from the beginning
installing all the software again.  I have someone who lives near me and he
does it for me at a very small charge.  We are in London.  I do not know
where you live.  He is not an RNIB volunteer so that is why I pay him but I
have used RNIB volunteers in the past and they have been excellent.  What
they are like these days I do not know but I have heard others on the list
speak well of them.
