I can use power point and java appletts just fine.  I do understand the
frustration though.  perhaps we might take another tack.  A lot of stuff
is going this way so we need to lean on our at developpers to provide us
with access to this type of set up as if they aren't already working
hard to provide access.  You might just point out to them that windows
is only the tip of the ice berg and that they would have a broader
audience if they were to provide a more broadly platform independant
solution for seminar delivery.  If you are paying for the seminar, ask
for a 2/3 reduction in the cost.

I've signed up to go to a workshop Wednesday by viewing it on my desktop
PC; great idea.  However, my Screen Reader will not voice the powerpoint
slides and cannot deal with the Java Aplets that are used for sending
questions to the speaker.  The company offering the workshop sent a nice
e-mail saying "hope this doesn't inconvenience you."  Getting only one
third of the benefit of the workshop does inconvenience me.  How can I
communicate this to them in such a way that they'll hear it and do
something about their technology being more accessible in the future?
Apologies don't help, I want change.  Thanks for any input.
