[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

At the recent convention of the American Council of the Blind, members 
of the Board of Publications voted to approve the distribution of The 
Braille Forum, the national magazine of the American Council of the 
Blind, in an electronic format.  That means that computer users who 
enjoy reading the magazine on disk may do so by sending a blank disk to 
the ACB National Office, or by downloading the magazine from this and 
other bulletin boards.  In return, ACB asks that users refrain from 
changing the original material in the magazine in any way.  It's my hope 
that by providing the Braille Forum electronically, more individuals who 
would not normally be familiar with the magazine will find it useful and 
enjoyable.  My appreciation to the Board of Publications for authorizing 
this new project.  I will also upload from time to time other 
information which may not appear in the Forum immediately.  For example, 
some speeches delivered by ACB officers may be reproduced here, assuming 
the speakers grant permission for such an upload.  Should you have 
further questions, please contact me at the ACB National Office.  After 
July 30, the new address is:  American Council of the Blind, 1155 15th 
St., N.W., Suite 720, Washington, DC 20005.  Tel. (202) 467-5081.  The 
watts lines remain unchanged--(800) 424-8666.  Please feel free to send 
me mail regarding your thoughts on the Forum.  I would welcome your 
input.
Nolan Crabb, editor, The Braille Forum.
