Thanks for your thoughts Rhonda. It's good to know that I'm thinking in the
right direction.
Window Eyes will read links like that too. Once I began to get familiar
with the program it wasn't too bad.
My not being able to log in had to do with the birthdate they had on file at
school being wrong. Once that was corrected I logged in fine.
I did contact the publisher but because of the amount of graphs etc., this
one really needs to be on tape.
It looks like you have to go to a website to do your problems etc. So
there's quite a bit of math involved. I don't know that this is a good one
for me to do online. We'll see.
Vicki
