There is a flavor of Linux I used called Ubuntu. It has a buitl in screen reader called Orca. Along with the screen reader Orca supports some braille displays. I would reccomend downloading and experimenting with it before going into a class.It can be downloaded or a free CD can be ordered from the web site http://www.ubuntu.com/ -- Katie _______________________________________________ The Blind-IT mailing list.
