Does anyone know of any computer magazines for the blind? I know there was a famous one with archives now on the net but I can't remember the name for the life of me. They had wonderful articles on software, screenreader accessibility and other computer-related things. I know I can definitely find many answers to my questions there, which would save you guys the trouble of having to see these posts and save me the trouble of having to write them. *smile* So long as I know where to look for things I'm fine. Anyway, if you know of another one please let me know. If it's still active, then it needs to have archives.

Now I have a new person to e-mail about blind tech! Awesome. Anyway, has anyone tried the other publications that I mentioned? Do they have anything that would interest me?

NO, after all most computer magazeens don't explain how to hook up a punch card reader to DOS 1.3 and enter GW Basic programs while using Tape drives for storrage.

DOS on a punch card machine? lol Kind of defeats the purpose of disk operating system. Anyway, I'm sure RDC explains tape drives and GWBasic, but I didn't go back that far. My main interest is from 1989 to about 1994, maybe 1996.
