[Electronics-talk] Purpose of List

Peter and others,

As one who has tried to assist with these lists in the past, I can mention that we have GUI-Talk which deals with 
computers and we have our NFBCS list as well that deals more with computers 
and employment as part of our NFB in Computer Science division.  You can find all of our lists including those at

http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo

I think that most of us would admit that the line is getting more difficult to draw with Apple using Voice-Over on their 
computers and their phones and I Pods, but when this list was started, it was because there got to be too much talk of 
electronics on the computer lists.  Without making some effort to keep the topics separate, we will end up with two or 
three lists all discussing the same thing with a sizeable number of members on each being unhappy.  <smile>  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
