Index Number: 26377 [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 -- Uucp: ..!uunet!bunker!hcap!hnews!229!401.0!Bill.Burgess Internet: Bill.Burgess@p0.f401.n229.z1.fidonet.org
