[blindlaw] Re Research Technology - thank you

We discussed some of this at our NABLIND meeting immediately following the tenBroek Syposium in Baltimore last month. We will do so again this summer in Dallas at our annual meeting. I hope you can make it to Dallas, and that you will come to our meeting. See agenda for time and location.
