[gui-talk] Looking for laptop articles on AFB access World

[Joel Deutsch]

i know about Consumer reports, of course. Or whatever is more polite to say. 
I just don't listen to the LS tapes I get of it, too time consuming , but 
when I could read print I spent hours perusing issues of Consumer Reports 
and knew a lot about all sorts of stuff, from vacuum cleaners to cars. but 
the heart gets weary, thinking that way. Forward. Forward.

Thanks. didn't know the NLS itself put out that computer publication. i 
assume it's online? I'll check into it.

NLS does a computer magazine Smart Computing, and Consumer Reports.
