New info on the job front: Hurry up and wait some more. Apparently, they want to see if their software’s goign to work with Jaws before they give us any answers. From what I was told by the NT admin a few weeks ago, they’re still using the same database and interface, so what’s the deal. Who knows. To be honest, the cynical side of me says: “You’re about to take the green one.” But, we’ll see. We had an adventure with the keyboard yesterday. The down-arrow key on the craptop keyboard decided it doesn’t want to communicate anymore, and things looked bleak. But, I managed to get in touch with the techy from our local services for the blind, and he happened to have some stray keyboards laying around. He’s the man. Things could have been disasterous if he hadn’t had those keyboards, and wasn’t willing to bring one over. Those of you who use Jaws, try to do it without a down-arrow, just to see what a craptasm it is.
Hopefully they’ll have someone with a clue perform the evaluation. JAWS can really be made to work quite well with applications that at first glance are hopeless.
I’m sure that with help from the Florida DSB, Phil Asby can get the thing to work. I am not so quick to think either of us will be taking the banana up the talepipe but at the same time I have little reason for optimism either. Next week will be a slow week indeed! Hurry up and wait!
