Hello jim and listers,
You said that as we lobby the various  state legislators concerning the
Technology Access bill there could be some changes.  Ltt's hope that those
changes will be for the better; that someone will think to amend the law
to cover areas we may have overlooked.  That very thing happened here in
texas when we were lobbying our Legislature and gathering support among
the blindness field  in support of the bill.  It was here in Texas that
the idea was thought of to require that book publishers make there books
available in electronic format if they wanted to do business with the
state of Texas.  I believe that a number of other states have also adopted
our model Braille bill with that provision included.  Let's hope that this
new bill will get more teeth put in to it and not get watered down as we
seek it's passage in the States.  Take care and have a happy Easter all.
Yours truly,
Peter donahue
