I don't mean to offend anybody, but this is just not good enough. It seems stupid in this day and age to have to get a sighted person to read you something that was produced electronically and I for one wouldn't stand for it. It's bad enough that sighted people ask you if you have someone who can see to read it to you, heaven forbid that we have blind people advocating the same thing. OK OK, so if you really need access to something, at least it gets the job done. but I'd be persuing many other avenues first. Geoff.
