Dear Jackie, Thanks for your reply. I found it very helpful. I'd like to do the ECDL or similar. I'm not a morning person, so night classes would suit me. Transport is another bugbear for me. So if FAS could spring for a taxi, that would be great. A computer with JAWS at the centre is a must. But I suppose I could get portable JAWS on one of those USB thumb drives if I had to. I not too keen on the idea of someone reading out the exam questions to me, but I suppose I could live with it. One question, though: how about homework? Is the course material on your home computer JAWS compatible? Or do you sometimes need someone at home to help you out? Oh, and how many classes do you have a week and how many hours of homework do you do every week? Sorry for all the questions and thanks again for your input, yours, John. PS: Thanks for signing up!
