[nfbmi-talk] Boston University survey

[fred olver]

A Boston University group of students has developed a short survey to be distributed to you concerning the development of a refreshable Braille display.

They are developing a project and need as many responses as they can get by Monday.

I have pasted it into this email for your convenience.

Please complete and return the survey to

Thanks for your help. I think that it is encouraging and important to support any efforts to develop technology that blind people can use.



The survey is after my signature.
