[nfbcs] Research

No one said Linux wasn't a viable option. We are saying that we never have
time to learn it if not mandatory for courses or work. People in my courses
use Windows, MAC, or *nix systems. The common trend is that they have no
time to learn the other Os. This is from sighted/non disabled people. Thus,
you can imagine disabled students who have extra work to do to keep up or
take longer to get things done.

This is an excuse though. Linux access is perfectly good if you spend the
time to learn it.

Uploading java files for compilation and then downloading to your Windows
box is so lame and I say that only because I've been there and done that.
It's like if you were learning to play the guitar but rather than fretting
the instrument yourself, you used a piano that when pressed converted your
presses to positions on the guitar and made guitar like noises. Yes, in the
end you get the *same* notes, but the actual learning is somewhat lacking.
What percentage of the course do you change before it's no longer considered
an accomedation but a different class entirely?
