[Nfb-web] A Couple of Questions

[Steve Jacobson]

Ryan,

I am the vice-president of the NFB in Computer Science and also the NFB of Minnesota and live in Edina.  I would be 
glad to both answer what questions I can and/or get you in contact with others in this area as well.  The National 
Federation of the Blind of Minnesota and BLIND Incorporated work very closely together.  Contact me at the address 
originating this note which is

and let's see if we can sort out what you need to know.  

Your interest is not in any way insensitive.  My feeling all along is that if we can talk to software developers or web 
designers, we're going to make hundreds of pages more accessible rather than working with them one at a time.
