[NFBCS] Blast from the past

[Brian Buhrow]

	hello.  Doug mentioned Flipper in his historical journey.  I, too started with Apple II
and Street Electronics Texttalker.  I still have the original Apple II reference manual in
braille, which came complete with tactile diagrams of memory maps and the complete 6502
assembly instruction set, listed by pneumonic.  I read the thing from cover to cover. (many
covers for those who remember multi-volume braille books.)

	However, it was Flipper that inspired me to write this message.  Of all the DOS based
screen readers I used over the years, Flipper was the easiest to use, ran the fastest, and
provided the most information in the most efficient fashion!  How good was it, you might ask?
For me, it was so good, that I used it well into the 2000's, retiring it finally in 2007.
Well, partially.  I now use Mike Gorse's Yasr as my daily screen reader.  Howevr, to make it
more compatible with my muscle memory, I rewrote all of the keymaps to match the old Flipper
commands, as well as rewriting some of the punctuation nomenclature to match what Flipper used
to say.  So, for some of us, Flipper is still alive and well!

-thanks
