- 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
