Good afternoon Rod, I will post it directly to this list. This is an internal review for our customers. A good many of our customers have hired visually impaired, blind, physically handicapped, deaf, and multiply handicapped employees. I get queried regularly about screen readers, magnifiers, physical accessibility devices, … ,as well as application compatibility.
Although our primary business is security, infrastructure, and operating system security. We have to deal with application security as well. I have a good number of visually impaired and blind sysadmins in our customer base. Most operate in heterogeneous environments. That is they support Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Unix and in some cases *nix derivatives (HPUX, AIX, Solaris, FreeBSD, …). And of course IBM’s OS/400 and z/OS. Some of these environments are quite challenging to get accessibility at any level other than the command line in a terminal window. Side NOTE: I have a pair of iMacs (mid 2011) with 32GBs of RAM and a core i7 processor at 3.4GHz. I run VMware Fusion with many virtual OSes running under it. Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 R2, a test MAC OS instance, and numerous others. I store my images on an external 4GB Enterprise class SED driver that is lightning attached. I also have one of those drives for time-machine backups. All drives and partitions are encrypted. I use one iMAC for production work and the other is cloned from my production machine in case it fails. I also use the second machine for testing new OSes and applications on its VMware Fusion virtual machines. That way I can segregate my production and test environments. I use Voice Over on the MACs and Window Eyes on my Windows machines. I use the Window Eyes remote desktop support to access Windows Servers. I also have Zoomtext as an option for several of my environments. It depends on the state of my vision that day. I bounce between better than light perception, to light perception, to complete blackness. > On 2015Oct 22, at 18:18, Rod Hutton <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Gregory, > > Where will you post your review since I'd love to peruse it? > > Thanks, > > Rod > > -----Original Message----- > From: Talk > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of Gregory Rosenberg via Talk > Sent: October 22, 2015 5:35 PM > To: Tom Kingston <[email protected]> > Cc: Window-Eyes Discussion List <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: webroot secure anywhere > > Tom. > > They have made dramatic improvements in the UI and its capabilities.

Steve Maraboli The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back. Please text the word BLIND to 85944 to donate $10 to the NFB Imagination Fund via your phone bill. -- 73' & 75' Gregory D.
