[nabs-l] blind people in Baltimore

[David Andrews]

Josh:

Just because you don't get a response here -- it doesn't mean that MS 
Project is accessible, or that it isn't.  People here may not know.

I could be wrong -- but I believe I am remembering that it is at 
least partially accessible. I would suggest asking on the NFBCS list,

http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbcs_nfbnet.org

as people there are more likely to have used it.  Other possible 
lists where people might know include, gui-talk, trainer-talk, and/or 
promotion-technology.

Other lists on other servers might include one aimed at blind 
programmers, as they may well have used the program.
