Dear All,
I have a computer query that I would really appreciate some help with.
I might as well be up front, this is not for a student but a totally
blind friend of mine, in a work situation. He's been trying to resolve
this for nearly a year now and still hasn't got anywhere and is
receiving minimal support from his employers.
He is a computer programmer and needs to use Unix Solaris Version eight.
This is a totally new programme to him and he has managed to make JAWS
work with this system via Wintegrate. However, he wants to know:
1. Is there a better way of doing this?
2. Does anyone know where a totally blind person might go to get some
training on how to use Unix Solaris with JAWS, is there anyone that
could provide one to one training?
This really has got to desperation point, hence me e mailing this list,
I suspect the only reason that he hasn't been laid off is that a charity
organisation subsidises his wages.
Many thanks in anticipation.
