list memo

David Ferrin
Well it looks like we are embarking on the 14th year of
running this list. For the most part things have gone well and the guys are
still interested in keeping this thing going.
It seems that it does serve a purpose so we will plow on
ahead and give 2019 a shot. Besides we don't want anymore death threats like
what happened when we shutdown the blind computing list some years ago.
No I am not making that up, but the credibility of the
person was sadly lacking to be sure. No I don't recall who it was, or care for
that matter.
Never the less until the call of retirement becomes too
strong to ignore things will proceed with business as usual.

Great idea! Especially for those of us who migrated from other screenreaders; this is an invaluable listserv. Keep up the good work.--Matthew Chao

I'll echo the comments so far. As someone who was forced to transition to Jaws from Window-eyes, the group has been very helpful.

I joined this list a few days ago, and it reminds me of the old jaws user group I think it use to be on freelists. Great tips! -----Original Message-----

You’re doing a wonderful job, Ovr, and blind and visual services of Pennsylvania, Penn State university, Arcadia University, I understand university of Pennsylvania. Have all pretty much referenced a recommended your list. So you’ve got the attention of a lot of pretty powerful universities just in Pennsylvania. Probably all over the country as well.

I guess after reading all of these replies we have to
keep pushing on as REO Speed wagon says.
Interestingly enough or maybe not Pen State is not too
far from here, although geographically I am a little closer to the university of
Pittsburgh. I am also a former client of Blindness and visual services. In fact
they paid for my computer education.
Thank you all for your encouragement.

But you got thier attention which means There’s a good chance you probably have other major universities attention. And that’s what’s important. I know when I was attending Penn State, they mention your list a few times. And I was talking to someone who attends Drexel they even mentioned your list. I’m sure if you asked around, other states have universities that say same thing.

I know that the disability support system in the universities talk to one another. So if Penn State Drexel and university of Pennsylvania got your list on the radar then you’re doing a good job and probably a lot of other people know about it So obviously you are doing something right I know I don’t post much because the list is so informative it answers lots of my questions On Jan 2, 2019, at 2:57 PM, Mike B. <mike9902@...> wrote:

Well, I guess the death threats could be a sign of
importance and possibly appreciation for some poor soul out there.
I'm glad this list exists! Thanks to all
involved in it's creation.
Now that doesn't include you, Al Gore.
