Hi Jim
Hmmm! I suggest you sub to Access IT through RNIB? I'm not advertising it,
just write for it quite a bit. You can receive it by either Email, Braille
or audio, and I can't remember the price, around 70p per issue? I've
subscribed to it since it came out in the 90s.
I don't like to sound mean, but if I sent out articles to every person who
wanted to read them, then part of my day would be devoted to it, and I'm not
exaggerating. Also, I don't get paid much by RNIB for what I write, and
nothing from anyone who asks for a copy, so you see my dilemma?
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie,
I would like to read this Access IT article. Where can I find it, no pun
intended, smile.
