[humanser] Accessible Technology Delay inInternship and Emplyment

Sat Oct 12 22:44:52 UTC 2013

Alyssa,

What type of host are you trying to connect to? Windows Terminal Server, Virtual Desktop (VMware, Citrix, …), MAC OS X Server, or a Linux / Unix Server? I am going to guess a Windows Terminal Server or a Virtual Desktop.

What version operating system is your client. Windows 7, Windows 8, …?

What screen readers do you own or have access too?

What level of vision do you have?
