It is associated with no formal blindness organization and thus expounds no particular philosophy towards blindness, or much of anything for that matter! Topics include speech synthesis and other adaptive computer screen reading devices, braille and its availability, mobility techniques such as guide dog and white cane use, daily living tips and tricks and general support. Above all else though, BlinkTalk is a place where we share friendship, it just so happens that many of us are visually disabled! Should you have any questions concerning the echo please netmail the moderator at his Fidonet address. Do consider joining us in BlinkTalk though, for you'll be glad you did!

The Geoworks conference is meant for discussion of the GEOS operating system, as well as devices that use GEOS. Discussion will primarily concern GEOS as it runs on the PC or compatable computers. This does not rule out discussion of GEOS on Commodore or Apple platforms, but it is secondary to GEOS on the PC. Since New Deal, Inc. has distribution rights for the desktop version, and has renamed the software, discussion of GEOS as NDOS (New Deal Operating System) is on topic. As a corollary, since GEOS/NDOS uses an underlying operating system such as DOS or OS/2 for file system access, and for the initial boot and launching, discussion of other operating systems will be on topic only as much as is needed to support GEOS.
