>> > As some of you know, IBM acquired SPSS (a commonly used 
>> statistical analysis software package) a couple of years ago. IBM 
>> has recently become aware of some accessibility issues with SPSS 
>> when using JAWS and other screen readers and is working to address them.
>> >
>> > I was told that they are looking for students or professionals 
>> who use screen readers and have access to SPSS with whom they can 
>> work to do accessibility testing as issues are resolved.
