The one thing I would caution about this one: it *only* works with JAWS and MAGic.

Good morning, Trainers,

The technology team I belong to would like to hear what programs other trainers use to teach keyboarding.  For the most part, we are using Marvelsoft; however, we are having more issues with not only the program, but with customer service.  Would you please let me know what other programs you are using and your opinion of them?  I greatly appreciate your input.

Jan Brandt

February is Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Month. ARMD is the leading cause of blindness in America for those aged 50 and over. Risk factors for this disease include: smoking, obesity, race, family history and gender. The South Carolina Commission for the Blind stresses the importance of receiving a comprehensive eye exam that includes visual acuity tests, a dilated eye exam and a tonometry test for individuals over the age of 50.
