Hello Don and listers,
I checked out the site before I got your message, and I guess I will
pass. Pete and I were independent business owners with Quixtar for years,
and I decided I have enough to do with proofreading for various
organizations and transcribers, as well as with my full-time job with
Marriott. You may want to go to the list for the National Association of
Blind Entrepreneurs (NABENTRE), and post your offering there. Their email
address is nabentre at nfbnet.org. Just a suggestion. Thank you, anyway.
Mary Donahue
