Yellow text is related to Deaf-Blind technology

[Jonathan]

Bonjour André,
    It is very nice to have you on the list too.  Are you Deaf-Blind?
Valerie was saying that the software you use makes it easier for you to
prepare and send your emails.  Can your program enhance the SignPuddle
to make it easier write signs too?  What things could make SignWritting
easier for the Deaf-Blind community?  I had been under the impression
that the Deaf-Blind didn't do Sign languages.  But I see I must have
been mistaken.  I am interested in learning more about the challenges
the Deaf-Blind face in using Sign Languages and computer software,
especially as regards SignWriting.

A la prochaine
Jonathan
