Hi Steve Britt, Closing the Gap is a technology conference that features products designed for the blind, physically handicapped, and learning disabled. The one I was talking about is in Minneapolis, I'm not sure if there are other cities. One day of the conference is free, and you can go check out products, have them demoed for you, ask questions, and buy stuff. Unfortunately the things I want to buy are *waaaaay* out of my price range. Would anyone like to donate several thousand dollars? <lol> Kellie
