Hi Eric: Well, this is going to be interesting. I was just talking briefly with my voc rehab counsellor. She's pretty much old school, saying the state gets people, "the computers that will help them the best at work." And "Most companies are using windows based systems." So, i mentioned the iPad, and how many corporations are giving them to their employees to make the more mobile. ... Yah, I wish I lived closer too. I'd have probably have gotten a lot farther and a lot faster training with a seasoned blind user. Still, I'm grateful for what I've been able to learn. :)
