Hi Christine
No, I don't know Jackie, but having just
Checked old emails I find it was Lucy Naismith that did my first
Demonstration. I think she's sales manager for the North.
Martin is training manager.
Were you impressed with DBC I love the idea of being abel to
Send and receive text messages in Braille.
Regards, Derek

Hi Derek, wow, I've got the DBC from HumanWare and am due a training day
with Jackie Hall...I do hope this isn't the lady who can't read braille? I
do understand that Martin Griffiths is a braille user as he was originally
coming to train me, but unfortunately became unwell...Maybe Stupidly in
panic, I asked for a female as I'm no use at listening to a deeper male
voice and wondered why I'd ever agreed a male for a whole day training, sure
it would have been a huge strain on me--but now, I'm wondering if I've let
go of a Really experienced person?
I hope you or someone can reassure me I've done the right thing for me?
Regards, Christine.
