Thanks..My son was a network systems engineer and a MCSC, his vision is not
good but don't think he belongs to this list.. He is having to adapt to his
vision going bad right now, it has not been bad long.. Thanks for your info
though.. He has had two eye surgeries that went bad, the drs. Goofed things
up or something, so he is not adapting too well with all this going on
lately..

There are many who do on this list though. I've been a network engineer for
17 years and involved with computing one way or another for 10 years before
that and I know some others on this list are engineers as well. This list is
a good resource.
