Heather: I share your prospective. I just met with a rehab counsellor who insists that there's really no place for the Mac in the work world. (she also insists that since I'm doing ok with my Mac, I don't need a braille display. Guess that's what I get for trying topfunction and be a part of a new solution.:)
This counsellor actually suggested I might want to move somewhere where they have the money and clientele to afford to keep up with the new technologies. She also basically said no one is going to pay me to do this kind of exploration of helping discover and working toward of improvement of alternative technologies. So, I feel more and more like it's mac-vs-pc, and conform to the old ways, or you're on your own. Sorry for venting. Thanks for reading.
