>Hello Dave, is it possible for you to forward the following to our 
>various NFB Lists? This message comes from the announcement that 
>Aira has made concerning discontinuing Horizon support. The message is below.

>Hello all, I would like to announce that my company, RGA Tech 
>Solutions, will be offering a free one-hour Android operating system 
>training session on Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 8PM Eastern, 7PM 
>Central, 6PM Mountain, and 5PM Pacific time. In order to participate 
>in this session, you will need to register using the below link.
>https://forms.gle/23d4xRAfH87thYTw8
>
>Here is the description of the announcement.
>Welcome to the registration for the free Android Basics training 
>session offered by RGA Tech Solutions.
>
>As you have no doubt heard by now, Aira has discontinued the usage 
>of the Horizon kit, which consists of a Samsung Galaxy J7 phone 
>controller and a pair of smart glasses. By the end of March 2020, 
>the phone controllers will have been reset to factory defaults. 
>While these phones do not utilize the latest Android version, they 
>can still be used as less expensive alternatives. If you've ever 
>been curious about the accessibility of the Android operating 
>system, what it does, how can it be used, and could it meet your 
>needs, here's your chance to learn a few basics.
>
>RGA Tech Solutions is offering a free one-hour training session via 
>the Zoom platform. If you don't already have your own Android 
>device, the Horizon controller phone will be sufficient to practice 
>with. This phone will need to be reset to factory defaults prior to 
>using it as a regular Android device. If your controller phone 
>hasn't been reset by the date of this session, you can contact Aira 
>to have them help you reset it ahead of time. Please note that Aira 
>has stated that they will not be providing any technical support or 
>training on the usage of Android beyond the initial steps necessary 
>to enable the Android screen reader called TalkBack.
>
>This free training session will last for approximately one hour, and 
>will only cover the basics of Android. Registered participants will 
>be eligible for one-on-one remote training at only $25 per hour if 
>they would like to continue to learn the Android operating system 
>beyond this free session. This special pricing will only be 
>available through March and April 2020.
>
>Event Date: Thursday, March 26, 2020
>Event Time: 8PM Eastern, 7PM Central, 6PM Mountain, 5pm Pacific
>Event Location: Zoom Conferencing - details provided prior to the meeting
>
>If you have any questions about the registration or about the free 
>session, please do not contact Aira, as this is not an 
>Aira-sponsored meeting. Instead, contact RGA Tech Solutions at 
>832-639-4477 or training at rgats.com.
