Hi folks, Jusst a line about a couple of websites which may be of interest. I'm sure most on the list will already be aware of them, but there may be a few who aren't. Perhaps the committee might like to consider putting links to some of these sites on the VICS home page? Regards, Eamonn BLIND-GEEK-ZONE: Firstly: a line about a most interesting website, hosted by rick Harmon.
