Hello Members. Because our driver situation is not in order for October's SACATE meeting, obviously we will not be able to meet together in person. We are, however, going to try something new. Londa has asked me to inform you that we will hold what is called a virtual meeting. The meeting date will be changed from Tuesday, October 30th to Tuesday, November 6th at 6:00 PM. We will be voice chatting and meeting in a place called the Blind Cool Tech chat room. Don't worry if you don't have a microphone. You can also text chat in the room and you'll still be able to hear what's going on. This will require the installation of a small piece of software called TC Web Conference on your computer. I will provide technical support for any questions or problems you have, and will include my email address and phone number at the end of this letter as well as at the end of the email containing software installation instructions which will follow this message. During the first part of the meeting Londa will give an overview of the chat software we're using, and then she will be demonstrating the new features in JAWS 9. Let me assure all of you the software you will be installing is both virus and spyware free. I have scanned for both and I also run a resident spyware shield which blocks pages containing spyware. Suffice it to say, I am a fanatic about such things. For anyone with any questions or concerns, I can be reached by phone at 379-9341 or by email at: dhk55@xxxxxxxxxxx You can also contact Londa during her office hours at 238-2531 or by email at: lpeterson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Come join us for something a little new and hopefully a little fun.
