[Job-Discussions] Questions about accessibility for a job that I applied and got

[Mike Stopka]

As I said in a previous post. I would have no problems if they presented me
with an alternative option. They just asked me what software I use. I would
be willing to use whatever software they are willing to use on their
systems. So it is nothing about discrimination here at this point. It's
more that it would be discrimination if they gave me the job and then took
it back due to supposedly no accessibility issues.
