[Blindtlk] In Defence of Mark Tardif

[Peter Donahue]

Good evening everyone,

    As a former school frend of Mark Tardif I wish to ask everyone to please 
go easy on him. Having to learn Windos 7 is just one of a number of issues 
Mark is dealing with at this time. He was one of the Braille proofreaders 
let go from Braille International in July. In addition he has just returned 
to his native Maine to be close to his family. For those reasons he has many 
things on his plate to deal with including learning Windows 7.

        If anything Mark is to be commended for getting as far as he has in 
such a short period of time on top of everything else he's dealing with 
right now. Given such a full plate can put anyone a little on the edge. 
Let's continue to answer his questions and encourage him. In time he will 
get more comfortable with his new computer and Windows 7 while he's 
addressing his other issues. I believe some understanding is in order. Both 
of us will appreciate that a lot.
