Hello Gene
My name is Jennifer and I am a visually impaired computer user.  I think 
it is great about Alan.  I hope I haven't intruded on your correspondence 
with Vixen (who I have not yet had the oppurtunity to correspond with 
yet, but I'm planning on it)  I would like more info on users on this bbs 
who are visually impaired.  I do not want to exclude anyone on this bbs, 
I am just gathering info for a friend who is considering purchasing a 
computer for a visually impaired user.  Also, I am curious to the 
cooperation and/or participation  of the various Social Service Agencies 
thatANYONE on this bbs.  I am a social work major who wants to specialize 
in working with disABLED individuals and their families.  It seems that 
rehab and social work are not used together, and I would like to change 
that because of my belief that a person who is undergoing rehabilitation 
or difficulties related to their individual physical challenge could 
benefit from the skills utilized by social workers.  I know that social 
workers have a bad reputation, and get blamed for things that go wrong, 
but I would like to try to dispell the bad wrap handed to social workers. 
 Input from anyone and everyone is needed and welcomed.  Critisism is 
welcomed as well.
Keep in touch.
Jennifer
