[nfbcs] looking for CS mentor

[Tara Annis]

Hi,

I've posted to this list before and received really helpful feedback.  So figured you could help me with another issue. 

I just started my courses at Oregon State in Computer  Science, and almost all materials have been easy to use.  Yet, I am looking for hints in using Putty.  I've Googled keywords and found some information, but I wasn't sure how current it was.  I figured JAWS 14 may have some enhancements for working in Putty that earlier versions did not.  My professor said I can use another program comparable to it, so if you all know of one that is more accessible, let me know.  

I'm also looking for a mentor to talk to about CS--someone who I can contact off list or via phone for  specific issues.  Isn't there someone at NFB who assist in this area?  If so, how do I get in contact?  Or, do you know of CS organizations for Disabled or blind that give feedback on accessibility issues.  I don't want to bombard this list with questions.
You can call or e-mail me.

Thanks,
Tara
