Dear Virgie, I'm surprised your employer doesn't provide you with a PC, especially if sighted people have them.
Why not take your PC to work or work from your home? Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.

No a full version of Excel wouldn't work, but : a spreadsheet program should be perfectly possible. : I also want to point out that a spreadsheet should not cause any problem : with the processor power and memory available on the MPower, and : possibly not on the classics either. Hey, there are actually : spreadsheets to run on cell phones that run the Simbian operating system : and they don't have the most powerful processors and they certainly : don't have a great deal of memory. I don't believe the spreadsheet : programs are usable with the screen readers for the phones, though. : : Another point is that although CSV files can be imported to a database : as well as a spreadsheet, that doesn't make them equivalent. Outlook : can import and export your address list as a CSV file, but that doesn't : mean your address list is a spreadsheet. Yes, you could open that in : Excel, but it would still be your address list stuffed in to a : spreadsheet, not anything you would normally deal with in Excel. Only : being able to have a grid of fields like a spreadsheet and being able to : do calculations would do the jobs most people want to do when they ask : for spreadsheet functionallity. Having keybase capable of doing : calculations would be progress in that direction, and I would love that, : but it still wouldn't necessarily replace a spreadsheet application. : No, Humanware can't give us everything we wish for, and certainly not : all at once, but please try to understand the reasons for the requests. : : Sarah Van Oosterwijck : Assistive Technology Trainer : http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : : __________ NOD32 1.1400 (20060208) Information __________ : : This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. : http://www.eset.com : : ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
