[blindlaw] Re Research Technology - thank you

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

Being a self employed freelance paralegal there are lots of conventions that 
I ought to attend but as I need to promote my business which comes first 
there are many that I don't attend. In today's society there are other ways 
of being interactive than having to spend several hundred dollars in air 
fare and be unavailable to my clients for several days while attending a 
convention. I am still uncertain about whether I will be attending the 
convention in Dallas for these reasons. As my business activities do not 
involve a predominance of work with the blind I need to weigh all factors 
very carefully.
