Do you remember when blind and visually impaired DOS computer users were
convinced they would never be able to access a graphical user interface
operating system like Windows? It is now years later and the old refrain is
being heard again but with a new twist. We are hearing that it is not that
the visually impaired will never be able to productively use Windows VISTA
but that it will be many years before it will occur. The good news is that
theory is inaccurate. During this week's Tek Talk online training, Joseph
Lee will show that No matter how you use your PC-from home entertainment to
business productivity-there's an edition of Windows Vista that's right for
you and you can access it NOW using a screen reader and the keyboard. While
time will not permit an exhaustive tutorial on VISTA, we promise that Joseph
will cover the basics and direct you to sources for further study. He is a
young, knowledgeable computer guru anxious to share his knowledge with
others.
 
. Seating is unlimited and there is no charge to attend..
