[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Cheryl, there seems to be a lot of talk about residential schools being
closed down in the States.  Have you ever heard any rumors about that
happening up here?  I do know that the provincial government is cutting
back on expenses to what they classify as institutions, and in some
cases closing them down.  Look what happened to Clarkewood residence
or was that Bakerwood on the CNIB property as an example.  And the
Ministry of Community and Social Services closed most of the centers for
developmentally handicapped people, including here in Whitby so my wife
had to seek another job within the provincial government to keep her
seniority.
I am nursing a bad back
caused from snow shovelling yesterday.  The storm cancelled my night
school class. And on the subject of Artic Vision, I know of two Artic
speech cards worth thousands that are sitting idle in two computers and
cannot be touched, unless CNIB headquarters clues in and relocates them.
Will close for now.  Have a great day.  Bye for now. Love and hugs, Bill
P.S. - Tom Ross got a modem from Gail for Christmas but needs software
to get it going, which I will supply, as well as do a minor repair as
the bottom nut on the serial port is missing and the port pushes back
into the computer when plugging in.

... I'll byte your bits if you'll nybble my words
