David,
    I'm half afraid to mention this here, as Doug Wakefield hasn't
exactly been getting the kindest of treatment since the Newsbits price
increase, but hey, this is at least worth mentioning...
      Talking Computers Inc., phone 703-241-8224, produces a Braille 'n
Speak tutorial that helped me quite a bit!  I forget the price right
now, but yes, it isn't cheap, but it is, like the other talking
tutorials offered by TCI, quite professionally done and worth the money,
or at least it was to me.
      Also, for all you that are no longer getting Newsbits, I just
listened to the March 1991 issue, and I enjoyed it much more than most
of the issues as of late.  This may just be due to my particular
interest in the topics discussed, but it included a story on a service
being offered to supply a human reader via the use of facs machines, an
interview with Steve and Cynthia of Omnichron, the producers of Flipper,
and the first installment of a series of stories on training centers
across the country, this one being an interview with the director of the
Caroll Center.
      Finally, it ended with Doug doing a demo of a recipe program being
offered by Ann Morris Enterprises, but he did mention the fact that many
recipe programs are available via bulletin boards, so he is acknowliging
the fact there are alternatives to the program he showed.
      I just thought some of you may be interested, so there you have
it!
                                                        Willie

... BlinkTalk, Dr. Deb and Silver in Pittsburgh!
