[Blindmath] Learning the Nemeth Code

[Tami Kinney]

Thanks! I am too tired to think about anything right now, but I have 
saved the information where I will be sure to find it. Glad I'm not the 
only nut out here that just ups and learns stuff when she needs to. /grin/

It seems sometimes that the resources that can be so helpful get turned 
around or something, so it can depend on where you live or which college 
you want to attend whether you get resources, instruction, tools and 
materials or if you get, you know, layers of time-consuming 
obstructionism. Sigh. It's  great now that there is the internet and 
more and more available accessibility tools to find people and resources 
to find more people and more resources. /grin/

Thanks again for the info and the work putting it together. /grin/
