[nfb-db] Working with an SSP

[Scott Davert]

Hi Rox and Cathy.
Cathy: your 100% correct that technology cannot solve everything. It never has and it never will. I've used SSP's at AADB conferences and I get one for work related purposes for half an hour a week, but that's it. I wish more SSP services were available! It would probably make my life more simple. Even 5 hours a month would make a world of difference. Perhaps I should reconsider my full departure from AADB, but I am not sure it's worth the time, since all of there resources are being dedicated to staying alive at this point. For a long time, I was too proud of what independence I had to realize that I was missing alot  of information and have the emperience of workingwith  an SSP !"ustandthat  I'm not giving up that independence by accepting and asking for help. after going through this process, it makes me wonder how many others have felt the same way and that perhaps this is part of the reason  people do not advocate for such services more heavily.
