Hi Jerry,
Well, good post!
I don't have time to read magazines, got so many projects going on right now.
I will always support access for the disabled, even if it's not something I read, etc.
Trippy, ac8s

  It is to bad that you don't read QST.  There is a lot of good information in 
  most all of the issues.  Yes BARD gets them out a little late, but at least 
  they are easy to navigate.  And the only reason that I even got in contact 
  with ARRL was  because I thought they would be open to learning about our 
  accessibility needs and wants.  They did not know that we couldn't use Adobe 
  Air.  They were happy to know that we could use Adobe X, and when I didn't 
  have all of the answers to the questions they were happy to take the names 
  of people at GW Micro and Adobe to learn more about Accessibility.  At this 
  point the project is going well and I have found them to be very thankful 
  that I wanted to have a nice and friendly education and discussion with 
  them.  The only reason I want to send a letter is to say that I know X 
  amount of people that would be interested in using the ARRL for QST if they 
  can see the way to make it useable to us.  I am also trying to learn about 
  work around in case it doesn't go well for us.  I don't have any new 
  information at this point, and I don't think I have much more to say about 
  the subject.  The only thing that I have to say right now is that If you 
  don't even read the Magazine, and if you don't like ARRL then why does it 
  get you so upset?  Thanks everyone for reading my messages and I am sorry if 
  I got anyone upset about this.  Gerry WB6IVF who is thankful for ARRL and 
  Handihams.
