[Blindtlk] At home job possibilities.

[Ray Foret Jr]

Not to mention which, an at home job situation would allow me to work barefooted!!!  A big plus so far as I am concerned.

I wonder why we haven't got more of this osrt of thing.


Sincerely, 
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Now A Very Proud and very happy Mac user!!!

>>> I must agree with previous posters. Your potential at-home employers just do not want to make their sites accessible. There are a couple of things you can try. Think about different screen readers. Are they more accessible with NVDA or with satogo? Send a note out on the NFB and other computer science lists. Someone may be using the site already.  See if anyone on the American Foundation for the Blind's career connect site is using such sites, and how they're doing it.
