Re: Accessibility look at Vista

[Richard Gardenhire]

John, I have debated with our local Anchorage office of Division of 
Vocational rehabilitation (DVR) and they keep telling me it's up to the 
center's executive director, what sort of curriculum they set up.  I 
went to the Alaska Mac Store and applied for a job there, and I will 
begin working there in two weeks.  One of the things they want to do is 
have me work with blind and visually-impaired customers with voiceOver, 
since I'm only one of about four Mac users in the entire state who is 
blind.  The store is really looking forward to gaining that 
marketshare, and when I told my boss about Leopard's support for 
braille displays, she was excited about getting that marketshare 
statewide.  She is shocked that DVR doesn't put more pressure on the 
center to include VoiceOver in their curriculum.  And speaking of NFB, 
how are they receiving the VoiceOver revolution?  Richie Gardenhire, 
Anchorage, Alaska.
