Hay David, I have to agree, but what gets me even more mad is his
giving readers that the only place they can get shareware from is
Compu Serve.  I get the distinct impression that he feels that he
is somehow socially above lowering himself to use a BBS.  That is
one of the problems I have seen with a lot of the top dogs in the
field of access technology for the blind.  They seem to be to
concerned about setting an image of being a little above the common
everyday blind person.
