Not really Greg, It is not acceptible to initiate personal attacks and we appreciate that. Having said that. I have been gainfully employed by the Private Sector/Verizon Communications for 10 years of my employed life and I have advocated for myself very effectively yet stood my ground. I've also worked nearly 9 years for Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service as a senior programmer analyst. I know for a fact! that advocating for what is in the best interest of my ability to perform my work effectively has enabled me rather than disabled me from the successes I have enjoyed. O'yeah, feathers get ruffled from time to time but that is just a part of life in general. One must stand his or her ground in order to overcome barriers and nobody said it's easy nor pleasant and especially that one is required to cave into what those who are otherwise clueless want to dictate. Maybe it's time to drop this thread though as we've gone beyond the topic of Speakup ha! Still the reason why the majority of us are here in the first place is simply because we know that Microsoft isn't the appropriate solution to Accessibility to persons who are blind or vision impaired.
