[nfbcs] jAWS and Deep Freeze

Tue Dec 6 14:37:16 UTC 2011

Hello,

Thank you to everyone who helped out on this.  your comments will be very
helpful today in our meeting.  This is why the NFB is so helpful, I can get
quality information from blind people who know a lot more than I do.

Thanks, again.

Warm Regards,

Fred
