Dear Volunteer friends,
Carrie, you sent us a Dummies link a few months ago. It is a very handy
reference site! Thank you so much!
Everyone, Last night while investigating the Dummies link Carrie sent us, I
happened upon news that is likely to aggravate my insomnia. I may never Sleep
again. We're getting a new Windows in 2007! I forgot the new, snappy, name to
go with it, but aside from upgrading...at some point...we'll all be waiting for
our various adaptive softwares to catch up, and then wait for the computer wise
on this list to figure it out and explain it to those of us who wrangle with
computers and bottom out, and then it will be learning new ways of doing what
needs to be done to validate!
I know improvements are a good thing, but they stretch my learning curve to a
u shape...in other words from the shaky hilltop where I am now back to the
valley of the ignorant!
Has anyone paid attention to the projected update? There's a print book which
discusses what to expect advertised on the Dummies site.
Carrie's help goes so far beyond scanning and validating! She told us about
the site months ago, but I finally checked it last night and it is a good
source of free useful info via the articles on a given topic you search. Last
night I sent links to articles about diabetes and a Dummy reference on laptops
you can purchase to 2 different sighted friends who love the new site.
Don't be fooled by the name Dummies. The information in the Dummy books seems
generally sound, and not at all superficial. It's just organized in a quick
scan and user friendly way.It's like a bus tour of a new city. In the days
after, you go back to the places that interested you to learn more. If a
subject is relatively new to you, you read the Dummies book and can always
follow up with further reading from other sources to go deeper.
In case you didn't catch it when Carrie posted it to tell us there were over 30
articles about dogs, the URL
http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/
To use the search, I had to enter on forms mode, type in my search and then tab
back with shift tab to click on the graphic to start the search. That may not
be how it works for you, but I'm sharing my experience in case it helps.
Always with love,
Lissi
