I agree with you, Janet. That was an unfortunate statement to make. I felt
the gentleman was looking for feedback from experienced individuals. How do
we feel when people assume the attitude that blind individuals "don't know"
because they are blind? And, yes there is documentation on the Freedom
Scientific site. It is on the training page and is the last item there. I've
never downloaded it, so I'om not sure exactly what it is.
Regards,
Jo
