GOOD JOB, Gary,

All we have to do is let designers know the feedback that we need, and if 
they have open minds, things will start happening!

Spoke with a ten tech rep at dayton on friday.  Talked about the =
companies previous lack of attention to access for the blind on any of =
their newer products.  Gave some simple suggestions and took his email =
as he took mine.
on saturday he sought me out to inform me that he had spoken with the =
new president of ten tech.  This new man was very receptive to my =
concerns, I was told that further communication and hopefully action is =
planned.

This is certainly a better reception than I have had in the past when =
speaking to ten tech reps.  Hoping for good things.  I will keep =
everyone posted.
