[nabs-l] Introduction and some thoughts

[Marty James]

I have my own business and I just want to know more about business and 
accounting, that's why I am going to school. I am totally blind and I do not 
read braille due to the neuropathy in my fingertips, I can't feel a thing in 
my fingers.
To get my degree I will have to take some statistics and high algebra 
classes.
These are the only classes I am worried about.
