I believe they ship.  In fact, they don't even seem to have a retail location.  So, you place your order and wait for it to arrive. On 2020-02-27 04:46 PM, Karen Lewellen via talk wrote: That is not an option for me as wheel-trans does not go that far.  Any options in town? thanks for the

Hi Stewart, When you are back, would you mind sending me a private e-mail so we might set a time to speak? My questions are not likely to be answerable from anyone at CNIB. Thanks in advance! Kare On Thu, 27 Feb 2020, Stewart Russell via talk wrote: I work for an assistive tech charity.

Hi Karen, The best resource I know in the GTA for this kind of query is the Inclusive Design Research Centre at OCAD University. I don't have contacts (I worked with one of the professors there) but know that they have plenty of experience with Linux and screen readers. Just not sure if they've
