          It should go without saying, but we'll say it anyway, that this is NOT a complete guide to sites on the Web. There are a number of reasons for this but the main one is the Web grows and changes so fast that keeping up is all but impossible. Also please remember a company or organization being listed here DOES NOT constitute an endorsement.

          Every site on the web reflects the views of its creators and or sponsors. It is no different here at Blind Net. If you realize that blind people are normal human beings who simply can't see and that we can do most anything a sighted person can do, (we just use alternative techniques), then you'll almost certainly like what you find here. We DO NOT have, "THE RIGHT ANSWERS", what we do have is a positive philosophy about blindness and it's related issues.
