Hello Louie,
It is Greg who typically rides up from Manchester with the Manchester
crew. I thought your email was well said and should be incredibly helpful
for lots of us. I find you Jaws and Windows Eyes users a special breed. I
do not "lose sight" of the fact that you all are unable to use this easy
tool we all take for granted, the mouse. They were not quite sure how
blind i would be or was back in the late 90's and I once was a Jaws user,
so I can empathize. Zoomtext is a blessing for me and I don't take for
granted how much memorization is needed for you all.
Anyways, on a lighter note, I hope your summer has been nice and you
and your brother are well. Unfortunately, I will be missing Friday's
meeting but send my regards if you remember. I will hopefully be headed up
with you guys in October though. Take care of yourself and keep those guys
inline.
Sincerely,
Greg
