[nfb-talk] To Be or Not to Be, Irritated

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Ken;
You need to, or have Bism, publisize that they are resycling  these
items.  I sure wish I had know about 2 years ago, when I trashed my old
computer, with 4.2, Dos, on it.  Tell us what all you collect and how
large items are collected.  Can small items be sent, Free matter For The
Blind?
The more who know, blind or sighted, the more business you all will get.

Terry Powers

I Allan, I am also irritated especially since I spent nine years in
Baltimore, and no one would hire me for the jobs that I applied for,
until Dan Woytowitz and BISM hired me part-time to work for the
recycling project to recycle computers, Monitors, Printers, Cameras,
copiers, DVD and VCR and CD players.
The job of taking those products will be done at BISM and sent to ESS
Company.
Their web site is:
