Hi; I was trying to be on my good behavior but can't resist. Personally they should have saved the paper and done something more substantial. After I retired in 2007 got board and went looking for a retirement job. Didn't want to many hours and didn't need any excess stress. I was primarily looking at call centers since I can talk on the phone and use a computer. Guico which you have all seen on the tube has a call center in the area and never hired a blind person. A local bank hired a girl at their call center who fell in love and left. I started working at something called roswell park cancer institute. The job would certainly not have been my choice for my life's work but this was for extra cash. Discovered that lots of their software wouldn't work with window-eyes or in some cases they simply refused to try it with window-eyes because their software had issues and there were concerns that a screen reader might make things worse. There was some of their software that was usable and I've been doing my part time thing for a while. They recently came out with a new program and when you go through the material you have to read there are about four scanned words. Why these words were scanned in rather than put in via txt is a mystery but it made that little project unusable. There are lots of potential jobs out there thanks to the computer but companies or hospitals especially those living on grant money should be required to make their software usable. So we have lots of new jobs that in many cases can't be done by a blind person because of software issues and older jobs that many uf us may have never considered such as vending and tuning are going away. Don't think a vender in a hospital has much of a chance when a Duncan doughnuts opens in the lobby. To end on a positive note, however, if anyone out there is job shopping the trick is to stay in the market and sooner or later something will come up. -- richard
