[nfbwatlk] Fw: Paterson 1st African American Gov in NY, 1st Blind Gov in US//Jonathan Steele on Defeat in Iraq

Hi, Kevin,

We may be hearing more about Mr. Patterson's use of adaptive technology.  He does use readers, and though technology is wonderful, being an old fuddyduddy from the past, there is nothing better and more efficient sometimes than a first class, fast-reading, artculate reader.

I have this vision of technology vendoffs lining up outside his office to show him the "latest and greatest".

Take care.

Maybe I'm just being a killjoy, but it's hard for me to think of David 
Patterson as a kindred spirit. From what I have heard, he's a fairly 
high-functioning partial. He doesn't use Braille, for example, and I haven't 
heard anything either way on what adaptive software/equipment, if any, he 
uses. It's great he's come this far, but I honestly can't see him advancing 
the cause of the blind very much. Just my opinion.
Kevin L.
