It is possible that I may have spoken with some of you in the far distant past, as I used to provide technical support for Blazie Engineering in the 1990's, along with writing and proofreading product documentation, recording tutorials, facilitating product presentations and training sessions and anything else they could get me to do. <grin> I left the company in 1998, where I began working as an assistive tech trainer at abiliTech, where I worked with blind children and adults. When that particular state-sponsored contract was cut, I began working at Associated Services for the blind in 2002, where I am thankfully still employed as their computer technology instructor.

Philly had such a group in the 1990's, but it seems to have disappeared and I've felt for some time that such a group needed to be reestablished. It has the descriptive but somewhat awkward name of the Philadelphia Computer Users' group for the blind and Visually Impaired and we meet once a month, via a telephone conference, on the last Friday of each month from 8:00-10:00 PM.

I also regularly post information to my own group regarding product announcements, updates, upgrades, etc. and would be willing to submit them to this list as well, assuming that doing so is permitted and appropriate.
