[nabs-l] College

[Joshua Lester]

I'm just concerned, because she mentioned her back being affected by
this constant use of the rolling backpack, with that heavy Brailler in
it.
That Brailler is extremely heavy, plus with a backpack, with huge
Braille books, it will hurt your back, because I had similar problems!
For my Math classes, to alleviate the problem, in high school, I was
fortunate, to have a Brailler, in every classroom, (thanks to my VR
Counselors,) (this was when they were cooperating.)
I have an old Perkins, that I'm willing to get rid of, by the Fall, of
this year, because I won't need it again.
Lanie, will you be at convention, this year?
Also, I'm still hoping, that David can market that new lightweight
Brailler, that he showed me, 2 years ago.
Thanks, Joshua
