I must admit that I was the one from whom the "offending" message originated, though I did not post it on this list. I was considering it, as it was relevant to Braille overall and not necessarily an "advertisement" more than an informational announcement. A few folks did ask about Braille on the Mac directly on this list and I received several private messages about it as well from subscribers of this list. However, I had chosen not to post the message here just the same to avoid the potential flames, but I must confess I'm glad it made it here just the same. Promoting Braille access on Any and All computer operating systems, to me, is something I have a personal interest in, as a blind user, as well as a vendor. Take Care John D.
