[nabs-l] Handouts etc.

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Hey Kirt,
I agree. Its extra work and effort but I will resort to it if needed.
I feel that that electronic handouts give me more equal access.  I can read 
the format like bold and italics then. Besides some handouts are tables and
will not scan.

Shawn,
  your suggestion requires work and extra effort.  Anything requiring
work and extra effort is a thing not worth doing.  Therefore, by the
logic which lots of blind people follow, your idea simply isn't
practical.  :)
  Best,
Kirt
