[nfbmi-talk] Computers for the Blind

[joe harcz Comcast]

I appreciate this Terry but it doesn't seem to be to useful for most people, 
again not your fault or this entity.

But, the hard drive capacity of even this pc which sis inadequate is 150 gb 
and it is seven years old and on an xp platform incapable of keeping up with 
modern VR demands.

Now again I'm not blasting you at all here Terry for this info, or 
denigrating this important program.\

Just noting some thoughts of which I'm becoming as obsolete as this very pc 
in this environment.

And this all goes not to you or your valuable information here, but rather 
the requirement of BSBP and other entities to keep up with modern and ever 
changing needs whether in the VR or IL/OIB environment.
Hope you understand my comments here.

Best,

Joe
