Hi People,
Here I am again nagging about Nonvisualdevelopment.org. Is anyone willing to 
put their programming story on NDN? If you like, I can write it up for you 
after interviewing you.

Thanks.

Jim

Hi Bill,
If you do not mind personal questions what kind of work do you do and how did 
you become successful at it?  I thin we can learn from others who have been 
successful in a career as a blind person.

And, now and then, you can actually be quite helpful.  You know, in
dealing with people with significant disabilities, you need to be
prepared for people with attitudes.  What amazes me is how many fully
blind people, who get screwed in so many ways, are kind, considerate,
and basically find a way not to seem like the angry SOBs they have a
right to be.
