Well, Marsha, The only piece of technology Michigan ever bought for me was a tape recorder when I started college in 1959. I have had to buy all the stuff I own--computers, screeen readers, Kurzweil, Braille devices, etc. and more recorders as I needed them. I also had to buy copies of braille textbooks sometimes--and pay for my readers most of the time. Evelyn At 10:16 PM 6/15/05, you wrote: >It is really agencies that are buying the products.
