Hi Chris,
Hopefully the person I will be working with tomorrow won't feel reluctant working with me. Hopefully I'll be able to impress them with the bit of voice over that I know that they will be willing to work with me. I have had to be a trail blazer and pave the way for other blind people by being the first before. It's never easy, but I think it helps the people that come after us. Ninety nine dollars is not bad at all for fifty hours of training. I'll tell everyone how it goes when I get home tomorrow.

Apparently, i impressed them enough with the little I knew about VO that they were willing to give it a go. I'm sure they got as much out of the classes as I did. If nothing else, I hope that I paved the way for some other blind person if they decide to take classes in the future. By the way, the price couldn't be better $99.00 for the year, 50 classes.

I am very surprised and excited about how willing the people at my Apple store are willing to work with me and how friendly and accommodating they seem to be. This past December I went into the Apple store near my home and looked at voice over on the Macbook. The sales person I worked with, who worked with me for two hours and I made an appointment to come in, was so helpful and friendly. I learned a lot in those two hours. If it wasn't for the cost I would have purchased a Macbook right there and then. Luckily, my family purchased one for me a little over a month ago for my birthday. I hope my first session will go well tomorrow and I'll tell everyone how it went.

I took them at the Apple store here in Burlington, MA and enjoyed it very much. I have to give them all the praise in the world. The fact that they don't know VO and yet were willing to work with me says a lot about Apple. Good luck.

I will have one-on-one instruction and am really looking forward to it. Also my niece's birthday is coming up. She'll be receiving an I-Pod touch. So Aunt Sarah is going to purchase an I-tunes gift card for her. I never had the kind of technology that is around today for music at her age. She'll be nine years old. I guess times are changing aren't they? *smile* Sarah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
