Greetings,

I think most of us are aware of the options that we have in taking exams, 
using a reader, getting a Braille copy, or some using print magnification. 
The question has been raised on whether any VEs are allowing people to take 
their exams on the computer.  When I took my Extra exam today one of the VEs 
said he had seen one test site that had applicants do their exams on PCS.  I 
had asked around a bit to see if this was an option but found no answers.  I 
should add that I had an excellent reader for the exam and even though I had 
thought earlier that I would have preferred to do it in Braille I believe it 
wouldn't have changed anything.  How about some thoughts from the rest of 
you on this.

Also, I would be interested in communicating some with blind persons who are 
VEs since I am considering taking that on too.

73,
Bob
