[Trainer-talk] Trainer-talk Digest, Vol 63, Issue 5

Sun Oct 10 02:44:01 UTC 2010

Hello Penny,

Nancy's idea of thumb drives is a good one.  Window-Eyes can also be put on a thumb drive.  Both programs are excellent and lower cost alternatives to JAWS.

Best Regards,

Fred

System Access on thumb drives is quite portable.  It would need to be 
checked out to the user but might be a good option for those who need to 
move from one computer to another.
