[nfbcs] New job duties

Sun Apr 18 16:55:55 UTC 2010

That certainly is possible to do using Jaws For Windows, but it is certainly 
more difficult to get the mouse in the right position and right-click than 
it is to press the applications key. I'm going to try some of the solutions 
posted here to see if I can define another key on the laptop keyboard as an 
applications key. Short of that, I may get a laptop case that is big enough 
to carry around a regular 101 keyboard. That may be a bit cumbersome, but it 
certainly gives me back to normal look and feel of my desktop computer.

Warmest regards,

Gary
