You bet he is! (smile) When he was a student intern, I was so in hopes
they would hire him after graduation. I hope my mentioning his name does
not embarrass him, but the volunteers are familiar with his name. (smile)

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.

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.
