[justin williams]

I use my personal laptop with my practicum, and I think I will do the same
with my internship.

Thanks for the replies.

Jaws in demo mode is a pain, but getting the whole software to use it for 2
months doesn't sound very reasonable.

I could always take my laptop and use that.

I have options, but I was wondering what experiences others have had
regarding assistive technology and internships. What arrangements have
others made?

Thanks for the input!

think about what kind of software that would be putting on that Machine
whether it be MBVA or John's? Because if they're putting John's on there and
it's all going to be a will to run in demo mode and my computer job is
extensive I probably wouldn't deal to get much done in a day. The reason why
I say that is because if I had to restart my computer every 40 minutes or
restart John, every 40 minutes Alakaina get tiring and slowing on my
process. So possible, talk to the person or Company, About getting the real
version. Are you free later that you will be using. I hope this helps and if
you having me other questions do not hesitate to contact me off off list
