Bookshare on CBS news Good day folks. Janice is not "hanging" Jake - she's trying to learn how to be a volunteer. She's reporting to Carrie now. Carrie and I are working thru my husband's library. The first box of new books is going to the office tomorrow. My email is jcarter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cindy, justbits doesn't stand for anything other than everything in life is just a bit. Bit of dust, bit of luck, digital bits.....just like this email which is lots of digital bits. Know how many bits there are in a book? There are 5 megabytes in the complete works of Shakespeare (8 bits in a byte; Shakespeare is 5,000,000 bytes). Many of us missed the CBS broadcast last night - we were at Gustavo's Proper Goodbye. Lot's of good food and good thoughts about how he touched so many of us and not just at Bookshare.org. He was as gnarly and kind and generous to everyone throughout his entire career. Lots of laughs and lots of tears. Have a good one, Janice Carter -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Grandma Cindy Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 7:34 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: audio description, please? Bookshare on CBS news You're right--and going back through my mail, I see I posted a thanks to Lisa for the information. But I rememer seeing something with Jance's address in the heading, though I can't find it now, and was surprised, because I knew she wasn't at bookshare any more. I was even going to write and ask where she was, but I didn't.
