[nabs-l] Internships

[Sofia Gallo]

It would be a political/policy internship.

It sounds like a USB would be the best option, but after reading the Jaws website, it seems like the USB version doesn't work if Jaws is not already installed on the computer and that it's purpose is to apply your preferred settings to jaws, and not to use Jaws on a computer that doesn't have Jaws. Someone correct me if I'm wrong:)

>>> Hi, I think before I even think about getting a job like that, I would think about what kind of software that would be putting on that Machine whether it be MBVA or John's? Because if they're putting John's on there and it's all going to be a will to run in demo mode and my computer job is extensive I probably wouldn't deal to get much done in a day. The reason why I say that is because if I had to restart my computer every 40 minutes or restart John, every 40 minutes Alakaina get tiring and slowing on my process. So possible, talk to the person or Company, About getting the real version. Are you free later that you will be using. I hope this helps and if you having me other questions do not hesitate to contact me off off list        n Aug 2, 2014, at 10:45 PM, Sofia Gallo via nabs-l <nabs-l at nfbnet.org> wrote:
