Since the quality of the show has now gotten lack lastered  when they moved 
to  san diego. I liked it when the show was more geared towards us in the 
Los Angeles area.i don’t know maybe the show has gone more corporate towards 
the corporate access tech companies.

Not sure about percentages of braille users or relevance to this discussion 
but, here's a question: Were there braille displays being shown at CSUN?
Also, was the web site populated with a program, an agenda, an exhibitors' 
list and the like?
This used to be a production of the State University system in California, 
is that still true?
I've found that accessibility for the totally blind has decreased especially 
in situations where the term "visually impaired" is used instead of or in 
conjunction with the word Blind. Just an opinion...
