[nabs-l] Efficiency and Productivity

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good afternoon, Rahul,

         Let it go! You're tormenting yourself unnecessarily, with 
these demands that are, as far as I know, unrealistic!Ol'Sighty as I 
am faund of referring to sighted people, work more smoothly because, 
unlike us, they have access to eyesight so don't need a screenreader. 
This won't change so you need not torture yourself over a reality 
that will always dominate your experience.
for today, Car

can primarily be attributed to the fact that I have so far been 
merely a casual user of assistive technology which is perhaps why I 
am not able to use it as expeditiously as I should be able to in a 
professional setting.

>Be that as it may, this has greatly reduced my job satisfaction and
