Chela, Thanks for the excellent instructions; I think this site would be the best possible; I can't believe there would be more than 25 people. I also appreciate the fact that it is so available. If others agree, why don't you pick the time and date and let's see how many show up. Thanks again. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chela Robles To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 9:55 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] I found a Chat room available 2 4 7, that is 24 hours 7 days a week A chat room just for blind cool tech The room will accommodate 25 people at a time.
