[nabs-l] in class writing

[Ashley Bramlett]

Well, as I said, email may or may not be possible as not all classes have 
wi-fi.
Yes, I have a laptop, but my primary notetaker that I carry to school is my 
braille note.
Besides I would rather not do that because the laptop is heavy, no where to 
secure it,
and the laptop seems to have tech issues. I just got it repared with a new 
hard drive, but I saw it freeze the other day.
Finally, rehab won't get me equipment. I'm a continuing education student 
pursuing a certificate.
Deb, you have to justify rehab purchases, and I cannot justify anything 
without a job offer. They wsay they will buy equipment when I have a job 
lined up.

Don't you have a laptop that you could email in class to the professor?
Maybe RSA should get you one with JAWS on it.
