[macvoiceover] Re: jobs that use apple computers

I don't know about other states, but in Alaska, when it comes to usage of VoiceOver by the blind, we are way behind other states, but our numbers are slowly growing. Now the Alaska Center for the Blind and Visually-impaired have finally included VoiceOver training in their curriculum, something I've been advocating since 2006, but I'm no longer there..... Rehab agencies have statistics, but here in Alaska, the accuracy of said statistics is, at best, sketchy.. Alaska Regional Hospital is one area I know of, that uses Macs on the job. A sighted colleague, and fellow musician, uses the Mac for laying down MIDI tracks, and has offered to sit with me and step me through the techniques he uses. The GB guides on www.icanworkthisthing will certainly come in handy. When I'm not here at home, my wife uses it for her home business. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

my blog is at http://jkenn337.klangoblog.net (updated frequently). Tired of Microsoft Windows and paying thousands for screen-readers? try out NVDA, get a mac--, nvda--for Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu, Vinux, or knoppix-adriane Linux desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are the most accessible for beginners. also try vinux-gui and encourage those at www.cherrypal.com to use windows-xp and nvda knoppix-adriane Vinux-cli-max or grml so all blind people can have an accessible computer.
