A friend told me about this website, and it looks like a great place to find information about all sorts of topics including help with computer problems, the NLS program, as well as non-blind related things such as country music. I'm not in any way associated with this website but just wanted to share it with anyone interested. So below I have pasted what is on the home page.

Blind-Corners

Hi, and welcome to Blind-Corners!

the NLS web site which includes a link to their search page where you can do a search of their book database by naming specific criteria.

Well you need those things for here too. I just thought it might be helpful to some people, especially when I see board posts where people ask questions about computer problems they have and don't get answers. I thought this might be one place they could get answers. But I have to admit, other than looking at the home page, I haven't really investigated the site.

It's supposed to be blind-corners.com. Please note, that there is a dash between the words "blind' and "corners".

Post 11 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Sunday, 20-Apr-2008 21:14:08

Seems like a good site.

Post 12 by the wrath of fire (Veteran Zoner) on Tuesday, 26-Aug-2008 15:37:12

there's also a feature of blind corners that allows you to access links to download movies, both dvs and non dvs, various tv shows such as cartoons, documentaries and so on, music and audio books. You'll need a user name and password to access that portion of the site. the address is www.blind-corners.com/Share. note that the s in share is capitalized, or it won't work.

Post 13 by Bryan (This site is so "educational") on Tuesday, 26-Aug-2008 18:32:57
