[blindlaw] KNFB With Wayfinder

[Angie Matney]

Mr. Dixon, 

Mr. Carter's credentials notwithstanding, he makes a very good point. Many,
many things might be relevant to a blind attorney's practice. That does not
mean that this list is likely to be your best source of information
concerning all of them. While many of us might use these tools, it is much
more likely that someone who spends a lot of time answering techie questions
(either professionally, or simply because it's his hobby) will be better
equipped to address your specific concerns (which, if memory serves, were
nnot related to the practice of law). I don't think Mr. Carter said your
question was irrelevant; I believe he offered you other resources that might
prove mmore fruitful. Given the lack of response to your question on-list
(though I have no way of knowing how many private responses you have
received), I believe he probably has  a point.

Personally, I think this list could be a great place for blind attorneys/law
students to recommend technology that they have found particularly useful.
If the list were to be inundated with tech-support questions, however, it
would lose much of what makes it unique. 

Again, this is my personal opinion. The determination of whether or not your
particular question is relevant here has to be made by the moderators. In
the meantime, you are much more likely to get a meaningful answer in another
forum. Both Wayfinder Access and the KNFB reader have specific maling lists
that are excellent sources of information. The KNFB reader list can be
accessed at www.nfbnet.org. I do not currently have the subscription
information for the Wayfinder list.

I will now return to my lurking-while-studying-for-the-bar mode.

Best,

Angie

Thank you for your opinion, Mr. carter.  however, when you get out of school

and if you pass the Bar, maybe your opinion might mean something.  At this 
point in your career, you probably don't yet realize how much the KNFB 
reader can impact an Attorney's ability to work independently while in 
Court.  Therefore, since this blog was set up for Attorneys to discuss 
better ways of practicing law, then my question is relevant regardless of 
your opinion.

Is there anybody out there using the Wayfinder with the KNFB scanning Cell 
phone and can give me some pointers on what I am doing wrong?  At this 
point, any help is appreciated.
