Re: Your help and/or support is needed

[Richard Gardenhire]

Here in Alaska, we have more computers per capita, than any state in 
the Union.  One reason is because we're such a long way from the Lower 
48, and satelite transmission is the quickest way to link up with the 
rest of the country.  None of our Internet providers or cable/satelite 
outlets offer descriptive video programming.  If we want to get it, we 
have to access it either from Los Angeles or Seattle, which is sixteen 
hundred miles away.  Apple has just shipped a huge load of computers to 
various village districts because their school districts saw the 
potential for blind Alaska Natives in the villages to have affordable 
access.  It is my hope that the Alaska Division of Vocational 
Rehabilitation will work with the Alaska Center for the Blind to 
incorporate VoiceOver training in their curriculum--something I have 
been pushing for since Tiger's release in April of last year.  Richie 
Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.
