[Blindtlk] One thing I'm tired of

Nicki:

For future reference, why not wax a bit curious and do some exploring?
That's what  the rest of us do. In this instance, you'd go to the main NFB
page, then to Publications, then to the Braille Monitor and start looking
from there.

Consider this just another instance of Structured discovery!

Mike

Where can you get what?  the December 2009 Braille Monitor?  It's on the NFB
