Go ahead; let us know of any response you get.

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."

I'm E-mailing Customer Service for Learning Ally first.

 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.

 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!

  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.
