Speaking of other langaugages, where is Hebrew nowadays, Neal?
I have offered, time and time again, to be a beta tester, since I lived
in Israel for 12 years and know the language
fluently. I've asked for documentation and samples that I can read on
my Braille LIkte.
Never got any of the requested material. Since Hebrew has a very small
market worldwide, I'm rather
surprised, and a bit disappointed, that Duxbury has not "courted" a
potentially very active Hebrew braille user and purchaser of the Hebrew
DBT suplement. Please pass this on.
I felt, by the way, that this should be made public.
