[Menvi-discuss] Someone wrote a short memoir about me!

Sun Jul 24 13:15:35 EDT 2011

Unfortunately I don't know how to use Windows Movie Maker with NVDA,
but am willing to make a recording of myself playing it. Guess I
better bone up on that song since it has been since 2008 I last played
it, shrug! I'd love to learn alternatives of making video to also put
up on my youtube channel as well that would be very cool! Any
suggestions would be awesome!
