Learn Windows at the Beach!
Combine a three day getaway for two on Shelter Island with
Windows 95 and speech lessons.

If you have been putting off learning Windows 95 you should try
it now.  Window Eyes is a speech package by G W Micro, the
company that makes vocal Eyes.  If you know Vocal Eyes, you will
be comfortable with Window Eyes.

Windows 95 is not easy, but the speech packages have come far
enough along to make many parts of Windows 95 very accessible and
useful.

This course is for the beginner Windows 95 user.  You will learn
basic fundamentals about Windows 95.  Things you need to know
before you move on to Word and the Internet.

The course is geared to the blind professional who wishes to
maximize his time in gaining the necessary skills for accessing
Windows 95 using speech synthesis.

Learn what you need to know in a three day,
hands on individualized learning environment.

The three day session is held at our site on Shelter Island,
Long Island, New york.  Lodging and breakfast is included in the
price.

Lodging is a room for two with private bath at the Shelter Island
Bed & breakfast.  The ferry to Shelter Island is two and a half
hours from Manhattan.  You can take a train or bus from Manhattan
right to the ferry terminal.  Shelter Island is a beautiful beach
resort town and can be found on the web at www.onisland.com/si
