<b>Hello David,<br>
A group of students from Boston University is working to develop a
Braille device which would possibly be a book reading device. They are
gathering information from Braille users and other blind people and need
answers to theirquestions this week if at all possible.<br>
Please distribute as appropriate.<br>
Thank you.<br>
