[nfb-db] "Operation Outreach"

[Janice Toothman]

Hi Scott,
I think that it is a great idea.  However, I have enough trouble keeping 
up with my  various DB and Guide Dog email lists.  Some days when the 
traffic is real high, I am ashamed to admit that I just have to mark 
everything as "read" because I do not have time to read them all while 
searching for a job and the other activities I am involved with and 
dealing with the health problems that I have.

I seldom look at my FB because every time I do, they have changed it and 
it takes my too long to relearn how to navigate it.

Also, I used to have captioning done by someone using Windows Live 
Messenger except when WLM bit the Dust (circa Styx).  I have no longer 
had access to conference call because I can not log into Skype, since it 
tells me I have to go through Microsoft and I am so confused!  I am not 
a computer expert! and my dad does not help me because they eat dinner 
when I have my conference calls.
