Coming up on Main Menu for the week of March 19 -AT&TWirelessAccessibility

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hello Brent,

I was unable to co-host last night due to a city commission meeting 
obligation, but I was able to listen to most of the show as it took place 
right before the meeting.  I was actually surprised at the lack of hard 
questions asked.  I was expecting people to call in with some pretty 
challenging issues for her.  Susan is actually one of the good guys.  I have 
a great deal of respect for her.  She's blind and the wife of a leader in 
the tech sector of the blind community, Jamal Mazrui.  Remember, though, 
that she does work for a huge corporation.  :(

Yeah, just goes to show you what people might believe if they don't do their 
research. Sorry I missed it. Forgot all about it.

Best Regards,

  Took a lissen to Main Menu last night. It doesn't shock me at some of the 
things that Susan from the
  AT&T/Cingular tried to claim was do to them and was their own idea.

  IE. VoiceAid, Message Reader. That existed on the E-Series and the 6290 
long before the N75 ever
  came out. The Say Name function is on all 3rd Edition phones as well.

  I found some other things as well that shell we say were not all the way 
true and very scued! That
  doesn't shock me coming from the AT&T/Cingular disability center.

  I would have hoped that they would have cleaned up their information some 
but it doesn't look to
  good. I guess that comes from the fact that they do not use the products 
for the most part
  themselves.

  Lets see they are coming up on 4 years this September and I wouldn't trust 
them as my only source of
  information. I would question anything that they told me and do my own 
research.
