I heard many positive things being said about Bookshare and us volunteers, and half the vendors in the hall were using Bookshare book compatibility as a selling point for their products. I forgot how many dogs there can be at CSUN. Though for my book the cane users are the biggest hazard. Tip from me to you--if your cane strikes something doNOT whack it and keep walking. It might be someone's DOG. My poor girl. Oi. Blind people. S At 02:23 PM 3/18/2005, you wrote: >We had a successful Bookshare.org user meeting last night.
