You're right on, Charles! Thank you, Chip! And also, thank you to all of
you who have contributed so much to our list to this year. It is
wonderful to have a group of informed people to keep us inspired and up to
date with what is going on in the world. I am kind of on the quiet side,
and usually observe from the background. . . ..but I have to say that this
list has been a very positive influence in my life this past year!
Thank you all!
Terri Bowen

>> to use, and how it sounds.
>>
>> I'd like to offer some vista classes; say 15 minutes (or more if people
>> are into it), on some aspect of vista (which would apply equally to
>> windows 7), to help people get the most out of their new computers.
>>
>> I'd like to demo what can be done with the free voice recognition, not
>> just dictation, but complete hands-free control of the computer (and now
>> there's a bluetooth headset which is high quality, and you can use it
>> for hands free control of your computer, with a voice synthesizer, so
>> that you can be walking around your house even).
>>
>> maybe there's enough interest to have a personal finances group meeting
>> every so often; to talk on any subject from dealing with creditcard
>> debt, to forms of investment, to tax laws which benefit the blind.
>>
>> And I don't mean to say I have to be the organizer or presenter or even
>> attend all of the conferences. anyone can create a group for whatever
>> purpose, announce it's meeting here on TABI, and do their own thing.
>> I'd just like to see us doing something together. something to cement
>> friendships, or repair friendships, or just benefit us in some way we
>> weren't even expecting.
>>
>> so, the floor is open for ideas as to how to make use of this wonderful
>> new tool we have; but I'm asking once again that people give it a try.
>> I know most people own a microphone, and those that don't, Lynn said
>> headsets are available from Radio Shack for as little as $10. and since

>> headset if you'd like to move around. but I know there are a lot of

>>
>> speak up when you're ready, and we'll hold another meeting to let you
