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.
