Alex, What is this obnoxious and offensive message about sucking eggs all about? I neither said nor implied I knew anything about anyone. I simply made a suggestion. Now get of your high horse and stop the flaming will you?

I for one certainly don't know, and suspect you don't either, know whether Kate already knows about ATW.

They do the assessment of your requirements and will often provide adaptive equipment too. regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Kate Oakes Sent: 23 October 2004 10:32 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Assessment of software to be used in new employment Hi, I have subscribed to this list as I have just been offered a new job which would involve using at least one non-standard program that has been developped in-house by the company and doesn't seem to immediately interface with JAWS 5.0. I am aware that I may be able to have scripts written to resolve the issue and I have already contacted someone about this, but what would be useful is for someone who has a good knowledge of all the access technology available to come and give myself and the company an assessment of what else might be available to assist me in getting access to everything which I need to in this new job. I have been in my current job for four years, using Jaws and Kurzweil and Duxbury, so I know these are available. I am not completely up on the latest in access technology and don't want to be missing out on anything that could make my life easier in the new job. In particular, I am wondering if a braille display might help get round the issues I'm currently having with the bespoke software. Can anyone point me in the direction of providers of this sort of assessment service? I know S&S may be able to help but are there any other suggestions? Thanks, take care all Kate ** To leave the list, send a message to:- ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, send a message to:- ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, send a message to:- ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, send a message to:- ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
