Hi Glenda, Dr Sarah Morley of the National Tactile Diagrams Centre here in the UK received a major International Award (from Stevie Wonder) for her "Windows 95 Explained". This has since been updated to Windows 98 and also Windows XP. You can find more information at:- http://www.winguide.co.uk/ However I have to add that the web site has not yet been updated to reflect the Windows XP Publication which I believe is now available. (I was told that by the web site designer only last Tuesday!)
