[Nfbf-l] Be part of the World!

[Matt Roberts]

In Volusia county, Newsline is a joke.  Why should I advocate for it? I am signed up, but all it si good for is TV listings.  I can get that information other ways now, and since I have Apple TV, I can always get TV that way.
We need to focus on other things besides this outdated stuff.  How about better access to web pages such as NHL.com? How about more access to things everyone else uses?

Hundreds of us use it daily and they belong to both NFBF and FCB as well as Blinded Veterans.  We need to present a united front to preserve it.  And that is only one of the pressing issues.  Craig
