[humanser] Accessible calendars

[Kathy McGillivray]

Hi. I'm not JD, but I can tell you about my PDA. It is a BrailleNote and has 
a Braille display, along with speech. The BrailleNote is made by HumanWare. 
It has a word processor, planner, scientific calculator, address book, 
database manager, and other features. It can do email, though I've found 
that feature pretty clunky and it hasn't worked with my office secure email 
server. I do use my BrailleNote a lot.
