Mike,
Isn't that the truth. Just to stay on an even level as one's sighted colleagues is a challenge, particularly the higher up you move on the career ladder. 
Best,
Terri

The stethoscope is an interesting idea.  The problem, as I see it, is in suggesting using other assistive technology to solve this problem is that it assumes others have that technology.
Not only are we dealing with the cost factor here, but keeping up with all this stuff -- unless you're earning your living by it -- almost becomes a job in and of itself.
Frankly, while what is available is absolutely mindboggling and wonderful, I am overwhelmed by it all from a learning standpoint.
Thus, I like the stethoscope as both as an economical as well as low tech solution.





A mark of true thankfulness is that we love the giver more than the gifts.
