The sad thing is that before the Texas Commission for the Blind was subsumed into a vast umbrella agency, blind State workers could access everything, although some forms were pretty difficult. I know some inside stuff about what led up to the lawsuit, but I am hampered by my cursed journalistic ethics from revealing it right now. Onward through the fog!

Your comment is well take...Howdy Access curmudgeon!<br />Your comment is well taken. I will explore your suggestion concerning the wisdom of continuing on the JAWS/Windows treadmill or adding a different access solution. Your inference that I use the computer as mostly a recreational vehicle is false. I use it in my research concerning Science, Technology and society at UT-Austin, and I manage my investments (equities market, precious metals and financial instruments.) This has been greatly hampered because I was able to use Zoom text and the mouse until recently. That’s no longer an option because of end stage RP. I asked the Comrade Mother if we are rich, and she vehemently denies that label. She says we are “comfortable.” Regards, Chairman Mal: Power to the Peeps!Chairman Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01260044943333419506noreply@blogger.com
