Subject: Re: question about remotely accessing a Citrix VDI?

Mary, major appreciation for that pointer.  I do have office and an office 365 
account so I’ll check that out.

SO I’m encouraged by the fact the thing I need support for is mentioned by name 
on the window eyes home page front page.  I figure or at least I’m hopeful 
that’s a good sign.  I feel a sales call to the fine folks there coming on.  I 
wrote to Freedom Scientific last week with my questions but no response yet.  
TO be fair it was lat on Friday so I’m likely still in a queue what with the 
holiday.  May the best screen reader for the job win.:)

Thank you again Mary
