Do you know where to find the most comprehensive accumulation of computer
related tips, techniques, tutorials, in-depth articles, and resources for
and by blind or visually impaired people?

Do you know who sponsors this collection and how long it has been in
existence?

Do you know how to easily access this valuable resource manually or have it
delivered automatically to your computer?

For answers to these and many more questions, plan now to attend the next
Tek Talk online training session when Michael McCarty, Expert Database
Coordinator of Fred's Head Database and Companion, will provide a brief
historical overview of how the American Printing House has been serving
blind people for 150 years, changes that are being made to aph.org website,
and then a detailed discussion of Fred's Head Database and evolution into
the Fred's Head Companion blog. He will explain the differences between the
original database and the blog, and will then provide a description on RSS,
podcasting, and how individuals can receive posts from the Companion blog.

Attendees in the virtual audience will have ample time to ask questions of
this exceedingly knowledgeable technology expert.
