Continuing the theme:
I understand your data-base logic, and don't really think that
braille is the anser to many problems, its still the answer to
some. I have a lot of docs on disk, I can use them pretty well,
even in non-hypertext format, but its not the same as holding the
book in the lap and then using it as the reference source while
learning a new system of coding, or just learning a new program!
I'd love to have a nice sized braille reference library of my own,
mostly computer geekery stuff, handi for a quick browse or a long
read. I use a program called SPFPC, a mainframe clone program that
really works quite well for windows with voice. Windows with
multiple documents are sometimes confusing, but this program makes
things pretty well orderly and useable. I recommend it highly to
any blind people out there, its a program thats sort of unusual if
you haven't used one like it before, you'll probablly hate it at
first, but then, if you let it grow on you...
I have finally found a source for 20LB stand braille paper size
form-feeds. I'll send price and info next week for anyone
interested. The light paper works great and really doesn't wear
out very quickley.
Bye.
