I think the rehab system is also a victom of it's own propaganda.
Even when I ran windows I used Outspoken, they didn't have a clue
about it. Guess if I were running Jaws it might be different.
Personally though, I'm glad the old machine bought the farm so we
could then decide to go with the Mac. Don't regret that all.
But faculty advisor or student advisor whatever they call the person
who lelps you set things up in school is a major key. You wouldn't
be the first person who had to fight to get what they wanted from
rehab. You deffinitely won't be the last either.
