Ray, it's not the editor's fault if there isn't much to put in there, but I 
think it's lost it's reader appeal since Peter handed it over to RNIB staff.  
It's kind of got bitty now and full of odds and ends that, as Ari says, you can 
read elsewhere.  I've subscribed to it since it started about 13 years ago, but 
I don't look forward to it the same any more, and I feel likewise about NB too. 
 It's gone very professional now and the user input seems to be lacking.  It's 
all for health care professionals and Rehabs.  No offence to any of them, but 
it isn't the read I used to look forward to.

  Jackie, have to agree about Access-IT.  Saw an issue when staying with 
friends up north and nothing in there really that I cannot get off email lists. 
 In fact a few cullings from lists.  Things about shopping and mobiles though, 
and some a bit futureistic.  wouldn't sub to it myself.

  Well, supposed we'd better let you un-sub.  Will keep an look out for you.

  Cheers,

  From Ray

    Thanks Alex.  I'll try doing reviews again when there's something 
interesting to do.  Must say I haven't done much for Access IT of late because 
there hasn't been too much to jump up and down about, and I don't like the way 
the mag is going these days.  Personally I miss Peter Bosher.  No offence to Jo 
Franks intended mind.  She can only fill it with what there is, but it's just 
not the same any more.

      Hi Jackie

      I would just like to add to what Billy says.  I hope everything goes well 
for you and I hope you will soon be back and doing product reviews for access 
IT again.  I value the contributions you make and what seems like a fountain of 
knowledge.  Take care,

      Alex

      Much appreciated Billy.  Thing is I haven't got round to it yet as you 
just add it to a long list of things to do and don't get round to it.  I just 
couldn't let messages mount up while I'm away because Ian will probably be 
spending a lot of time in Aberdeen with me anyway, and the last thing he'll be 
bothered with is my electronic mail.  So I thought I'd unsub for a bit, soon 
... very soon (smiles).

      Jackie
