[Jobs] Making LiveOpps Accessible?

[David Andrews]

Well, I was probably  a little harsh in my message, and I am sorry 
for that.  I probably shouldn't write in the middle of the 
night.  Java is only my speculation, and I could be wrong.  Also, a 
Java app can be accessible, but has to be written in a specific way 
generally.  I manage five people who do job and individual technical 
evaluations.  We can ask questions about job sites, but ultimately 
you just have to try access software.  There is no other way.

As to job hunting, there is a group of people who will find a job, 
with or without the rehab system and anything else, and there is a 
group of people who will struggle.  That's life.
