The Accessible World News Wire, Indianapolis, Indiana USA

With the increased interest in accessing computers with Braille displays, we have invited Larry Lewis, President of Flying Blind LLC, to demonstrate the functionality and practical uses of Optelec's recently released Alva Braille Controller 640.

Since Optelec began shipping this 6th generation of Alva Braille displays within the United States in June 2008, customers have been experiencing the feature-rich functionality present within this state-of-the-art, wireless Braille solution.

Lewis, who has extensive experience both using and representing a wide array of wireless Braille devices and mobile technologies will illustrate how the Alva Braille Controller differs from any other solution currently on the market. He'll also be demonstrating and discussing how he is using this solution to perform a variety of portable and desktop tasks essential for his success as a business owner.

Following the presentation, Lewis will answer questions from the virtual audience.
