[Trainer-Talk] Seeking Helpful Resources

[New Vision Tech Center]

Anita,
I forgot, Apple often has classes at their stores for Mac users. I can't 
remember but they might do VoiceOver lessons as well. A while back there 
was a SeroTalk podcast where they interviewed a Blind Apple Store 
employee so if you can dig up his name you might be able to check with 
him. Jamie Pauls former SeroTek empolyee and Joe Steincamp I think could 
tell yo uthe episode; I think it was on the Triple Click Home Podcast.  
Both those fellas are on Twitter. An Jamie works for AppleVis now. If 
you have any trouble tracking them down to find out the episode, just 
tweet me at @certdoctor or here at my day job @newvisionroa an Illl try 
an shoot you their twitter handles.

Hopefully I'm not mixing things up; but I don't think it was on MainMenu.
Rock on!
-David
