I didn't want to say who it was, but yes, I was referring to Jake. Excellent
engineer!

Oh yes, Jake Brownell! He is from Illinois, like
me. (smile) And you are right, his degree was in computer
science. I remember that from some of his postings on the list. He
also has a website.

One of our engineers joined Bookshare several years ago, worked part-time
for Bookshare while he attended college, graduated with a degree in computer
science (I think), and took the job that was offered to him by Bookshare after
he left college. He's been a full employee for probably a year now or maybe
longer.

Re: problem with daisy book
Hi Monica, I think Bob was actually
talking about the engineers behind the physical devices themselves, not the
bookshare staff. smile. For myself, in ten years of using speech
recognition software, I have yet to talk to a developer or engineer for the
product I use that is disabled or even uses the product themselves. They all
use
a keyboard and mouse.
