Congrats! I'm sure you both are relieved since it didn't start out so great. So, given the topic of the thread(s), did PPLS do the job to their client's satisfaction or was this the work of the public defender? Steve

In Feburary 2004, I went on a dive trip to Cozumel and looked for anyone signing. Found no one during my surface interval. ;( During one dive, my hearing dive-buddy and I were taking it slow and easy to take pictures of the reef. Another dive group caught up with us in the drift. Their...

Heya Mark! mld4ds' comment got me wondering. How does this IP-RELAY program compare to AOL-Wireless speed-wise? I'm guessing Idokorro is simplifying the telnet connect for Deaf/HoH BB Users? How does the program compare to Idokorro's Telnet and its speed? Mind you, I haven't used a...

sVRS ain't the only 24/7 shop in town - Steve

One reason to want one VP brand over the other, is to have the same brand as your friends. This way you can use the phone number (alias) directory server instead of IP. Sometimes the directory servers go down, but the IP method will always work. (Unless of course you are calling to a...

Sorry, but the dail-a-lawyers are right. They cannot and should not discuss anyone elses legal business with a third-party. So, forget PPLS for right now. To help your client/friend/aquaintance, contact the Department of Justice. Tell them the jail has not provided a TTY or other equal...

If these cards work for you, great! "No sign language" should refer to Hearing Impaired, not HoH. If you use sign language, how could you be impaired? :) BTW: I just love the "Deaf Not Allowed" symbol. :) Steve

We all need to do our part to keep Deaf Culture and Heritage alive and well. Me?... I'm starting another year as a mentor for deaf kids in a mainstream high school here. I wasn't exposed to the Deaf community and sign language until after high school. By coming to the students, I can bring...

D-Link from C-S-D. Our VP-100 stays in its box until we have access to services of our choice. Steve

That should read: "Honoring our Deaf Heritage" Steve

I just met Mark Apodaca at the Iowa Association of the Deaf 2005 Conference in Waterloo, Iowa (4-6 Aug). I'm happy to say that our state organization has been going through many changes while remaining true to our culture and heritage. Lately, many conferences have been focused on the...

I have a BB7290 Cingular (Formarly ATTW). My wife and I use Blackberry Messenger as our IM program. To date, it is not compatible with AIM, Yahoo, or others. It uses the PIN-to-PIN messaging protocol, so that means it's only Blackberry-to-Blackberry. We tried VeriChat, which is a great...

Actually, your knowledge of French will benefit you when learning ASL. ASL grammar, I'm told, is similar to French. Good luck to you and your family! Steve

Spinal Meningitis at 13 mos. old. Steve

Congrats on your decision to get one. Any chance your employer could pay for it? I'm being fitted for a new one myself. I wore it last weekend and determined there are many changes that need to be made or adjusted. Starting with a new mold shot. I'm back to wearing my old one now and...

I lather up my face, neck, and head in the shower and use a Venus Divine razor, a women's version of the Mach3. The broader shaving head is easier to glide along my scalp, than my Mach3. After my shower, I clean up around my goatee with my original Mach3 at the mirror. Every 2-3 weeks, I...

That's weird as the US Gov't is Blackberry's biggest user. They are the reason the Blackberry will not have a built-in camera or add-on card slots. Steve

I have mild-to-moderate reverse-slope loss in the aided ear. I can hear on the phone better with my CIC than with my half and full shells of the past. Less tendency for feedback. My CIC allows me to wear my Bluetooth headset over my ear and connected wirelessly with my Blackberry phone/pager...

Actually, my Siemens is 9-years old now. I went to a HAMS audiologist yesterday at the same office as my regular audiologist. My company will pay for my hearing aid(s) if I go through a HAMS point-of-service. I prefer my regular PhD audiologist as he taught all the others around here...
