I don't know if the International Braille and Technology Center has received
an
advance copy or not, but I'm sure if they have they will incorporate it into
the
seminar, but as far as it being released prior to the convention, maybe,
aybe
not. There have been some serious problems with Windows 98. Last I heard,
t
was supposed to be released on June 25th, but when Bill Gates was
demonstrating
it at a recent trade show in Chicago, it crashed the entire system. Also,
some
states are trying to block its release because of what they feel
are Microsoft's monopolistic practices. So there is a chance that its
elease
will be delayed.
I know everyone has other commitments at the convention, but I
think a repeat of that particular seminar would be far better
than recorded tapes of it. It is very hard to get the feel of an
interactive presentation on tape as unlike other presentations
which are listened to by the audience, this is far more
interactive and that is hard to capture on tape.
