Oh, I see.  What about Bookshare?

I was able to talk to the instructor, via E-mail.
I'm going to get my books from Learning Ally.
The DSB needed to be notified, 6 months ahead of time, in order 
to get
my books in Braille, which is impossible, because, how can I 
know, 6
months ahead of time, what classes I need to take?
This is crazy!
Blessings, Joshua

 Um...

 (1) Why can't you get anything in Braille? Is the DSB not
 offering you anything in Braille anymore? I thought you said you
 had to deal with them if you are to get your books in Braille.
 Well, if you get a Pacmate, you won't need hardcopies.
 2.  How did you deal with the last compressed video class you
 took? I remember you talking about that on the list before, but
 can't remember how you handled it if you took the class.

 Well, I have some good news, and bad news, from this meeting.
 The good news, I'm finally getting some cooperation, and I might
 be
 able to have a Pac Mate, for the rest of my college tenure.
 The bad news, is as follows.
 #1.  I can't get anything, in Braille.
 #2.  All of my classes are at night, except for College Algebra.
 #3.  They're letting me take a Philosophy class, in place of
 Music
 Appreciation, but there's one problem!
 It's another compressed video class!
 #4.  I won't get to graduate in May.
 They're claiming, that I lack 4 hours, so I'll have to take that
 other
 Science class, in the Fall.
 That's a community college for you!
 Oh well!
 At least, this time, the counselor showed up, (LOL!)
 Blessings, Joshua
