-
- No, I doubt that anyone would feel that way. I personally feel that we
- have an echo especially for blind people just to discuss things that
- might not be of interest to others. I don't feel that we, or any other
- group, should be confined to any special areas, whether they be on the
- nets, or in user groups. Someone once asked me if I thought they should
- form a special computer user group for blind people in Eugene. I told
- him to just join the local computer users' group, and form a sub-group
- in that. He chose to form his own little clique in any case.
-
- I don't know; what do the rest of you feel about this? Are there a lot
- of computer user groups set up specifically for blind people? I would
- think it would be better for all concerned just to join a local group.
- The blind people could learn from other users, as well as the other
- users learning from the blind users. I haven't had the courage to join
- our local computer users' group though.
