Hello People, It's me again. I'm not certain whether the link I put into my last message actually worked, as I received a message I'd never seen, about some features of the message not being supported by plain text. So, the link to the BCAB Technology Help Line page on our website is: https://www.bcab.org.uk/content/bcab-technology-help-line Best, Clive -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robin Davies Sent: 14 November 2014 09:10 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Feedback wanted: helpline for the blind? Hi Mo this is an excellent idea and congratulations for being part of it. Like most others I think a trial with a weekly service to test out the demand would be a good way to start. If that is too much to do then at least once a fortnight. Monday between 7 and 8 pm also sounds like an appropriate time slot. kind regards Robin On 13/11/2014 19:05, Mobeen Iqbal wrote: > Hello Everyone. > > I am posting this on behalf of a charity called Helping Hands For The > Blind.
