Hi Rick,

The answer is Yes, to all of those.  

Actually, what I am running into is when I contact potential employers,
I do not recognize any of the Customer or Bug Tracking Software they use. 
My last employer was so cheap he wouldn't spend any money for this kind
of thing, so myself and the other guys in the department used several
Freeware packages.  

I rarely recognize any tracking software mentioned by potential
employers.  So I have no idea if any Screen Reader will work, and
usually, the person I am speaking to is depending upon me to know, since
they don't get a lot of Blind applicants.  
-- 

This then turns into a Stalemate situation as they don't know anything,
and I can not help them either.  To show up with my copy of Window Eyes
and install it on their system, and go through all of the headakes that
usually come, I have yet to find an employer this patient, to take up
the time to see if my Screen Reader will work on their systems.  

I am told to come back when I find out if my screen reader will work
with what ever software they are using.  And so far, the answer is I
don't know, or No, or Kind of.  

Not complaining here, but just stating what I've run into the very few
times I've actually had someone take an interest.  

The last time was over a year ago.  

I slacked off looking because it was like Spitting into the Wind.  Then
in the last month or two, I am back to looking again, and the Database
question has come up again.  

Perhaps I need to change the type of job I am looking for.  Maybe I
should be a software Tester, or a Web Site tester when I grow up?  

Grumpy Dave
