Gordon, You will be fine, it is fairly easy to pick up. you are fine to download the latest version to play with in demo mode. The dongle is only used for validation purposes and does not include a copy of the software on the drive (at least mine does not). It might be useful to check which

Hi Chris That's a very good point. I'll make sure to ask them when they come over on Thursday. What's happening is that I now have contacts with local council groups who I never even knew existed. There's a group here called Action For Blind People, and another group called Steps. Their

That's an interesting suggestion. Anybody know what it costs and where to get started? It would certainly be a help to me because I'm likely going to be working towards a base level teaching qualification in the coming months. Gordon On 30 Jul 2012, at 18:49, william lomas

Hi Mike Sorry I'm a bit confused here. Yes, naturally I plan to review the basic documentation. I take it that's what you're suggesting? To tell you the honest truth it goes against the grain for me to start reading manuals, but on this occasion I may have no option. Jaws is a strange

Actually, the three web sites I've been to recently have all been sites where people used ARIA markup, and they wanted us to test them. I just realized that. So I cannot give you a link to them yet. I am sorry. It just seems there are a lot of them out there, but apparently only ones I visit.
