Yes, I agree.  I was just sharing what I do.

Each person has his/her own preference on what format to use, and 
that may
be different for different subjects, but no one person is right 
or wrong.

 Except for math, yes.

 Hi,
 Wouldn't it be easier and more convient to have college texts on 
audio
 rather than braille any way? It would take a while to use 
braille in
 college.

 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
