Hi everyone. Since Braille is such an important part of how many of us read
and use Bookshare, I think you may be interested in attending this event or
listening to it later if you can't attend. It starts at a little before 6 PM
Pacific, 7 Mountain, 8 Central, and 9 Eastern time. This isn't anything I'm
involved with personally. I just think it could be an interesting discussion
and might help us to understand members of our community better. Here is the
info from Paul Edwards, the presenter.

HEADED!
In a future program, we will have guests who attended the Louis Braille
Anniversary conference held in Paris earlier in January. For this
Program, what I would like us to do is focus on how Braille evolved and
where it is going from here. Are young people giving up on Braille?
Are older people being given a chance to learn it? Have the recent
changes in computers and speech synthesizers helped or hindered Braille?
Is Braille likely to survive the next fifty years? Join us as we
explore questions like these and see where the dancing dots lead us.
Now here are some instructions on how to find where we will be taping
Tuesday Topics at a little before nine on Tuesday the 27th of January,
2009. See you There.
Using a web browser, go to
http://www.conference321.com/masteradmin/room.asp?id=rs510b693fb11f to
enter the Politics Room.
There you must either download a small application if this is your first
time there, or go on to enter the room. The next screen has a spot for
you to input your real name and a password. Ignore the password. Just
enter your name and press enter.
The new room looks a lot different from the old one. Please take some
time and explore particularly the help menu and its accessibility
submenu.
If you cannot join us tonight, please listen starting next Monday at
8:00 p.m. eastern to hear this program on the mainstream channel of
ACBRADIO.
