[nabs-l] more on Learning Ally

[Chris Nusbaum]

I just thought of something; does everybody have Dr.  Maurer's 
email address? If not, it is officeofthepresident at nfb.org.  Also, 
John Pare is the executive director of strategic initiatives, 
which is to say he's the guy in charge of all our advocacy and 
governmental affairs work.  His email is jpare at nfb.org.

Also, if this issue isn't resolved by then and we don't get some 
kind of serious commitment/response from Learning Ally, Dr.  
Maurer will be on the Thru Our Eyes Internet radio show on 
January 18th at 8 PM Eastern.  There was an email sent out to all 
NFB-NET list members about this interview, which many of you 
probably saw.  The interview is entitled "Ask the President," 
which means they'll be encouraging calls by listeners to ask Dr.  
Maurer any questions you may have about the Federation and our 
work or the work ahead.  I'd suggest calling into the show and 
telling him about this on live Internet radio; maybe that'll get 
their attention! * Smile! I am thinking of doing this, but if 
anyone who has more firsthand experience with this new software 
can call in and give firsthand accounts of how this software is 
inaccessible and the effect that inaccessibility has had on you, 
that would be a lot better than me calling in and relaying 
information from the many reports of that program's 
inaccessibility on this list.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

Marsha, please E-mail Dr Maurer, if the Customer Services don't 
get back to you.
We need to stop these corporate companies from making their stuff 
inaccessible!
Blessings, Joshua

 First of all, I am trying to download a book, and can't for the 
life of me
 figure this out.  I downloaded there stupid new download 
manager.  The book is
 in my book shelf, but there is no link that says download.  What 
am I
 missing? Can anyone help.



 Secondly, I have been trying to figure out how to download this 
book for an
 hour now.  I think I would rather get a root canal.  I am pretty 
sure this is
 not a matter of me not knowing how to DL the stupid book.  It is 
the site is
 inaccessible.  So I sent a polite but stern email to their 
customer service
 department.



 I urge those others who are having problems to email them too.  
This is the
 ONLY way we are going to get change.
