[stylist] new writing assignment?

[Eve Sanchez]

Barbara, I can not write in Braille as I do not have a Braille writer and
my arthritis does not allow me to do much with a slate and style. Thanks
for the suggestion though. Also, it is not the computer voice that gets to
me. It is that I do not have Word which is a  good program. I have Open
Office which does not read through. I have to arrow down and for some
reason it keeps adding line numbers in its dictation. Also if I get too low
without scrolling, it rereads a past line. Annoying, but at least I have a
computer so I deal with it. I do like to complain though. haha Diolch, Eve
