[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

I put a message on this echo about a week ago, but I'm not sure it
actually got disseminated.  If it didn't, or even if it did, I want to
say that I am very glad to have access to this echo, and have enjoyed
reading it for the ast couple weeks.  If my message about low-cost
information services didn't make it onto the echo, I'll repost it.
     I want to be sure all Braille 'n Speak users know about the Users'
Group.  Membership costs $10 per year, but the issues for the first
calendar year in which you own a BNS are free.  Blazie Engineering
eventually gives me the names of registered users, but if you want to be
sure I get your name, give it to me personally, here, by phone (206)
685-1818,) or by mail (318 S. Judson St., Tacoma, WA 98444).  If you
bought a BNS in 1990 and haven't gotten your issues, let me know that
also, but don't despair.  I just received a very large list from Blazie,
and am sending out tapes as fast as I can get them copied.
     I have yet to graduate from my old reliable Apple II to the pc
world, though I may do so soon and will have a myriad questions.  To
start with, does anybody use Speak-Sys, and if so, is it at all viable
as a screen reader?  for the time being, I use BNS for almost
everything, including all telecommunicating.  I know there are many
telecommunication nicities it doesn't have, but I find it a very
comfortable environment to use.
     Anyway, enough rambling.  Bye for now
Dean
