Accessibility Hardware

[David Mandala]

You might try joining the balug.org mailing list and asking the question
there. As I recall balug has a couple of people that are sight
challenged, one of them completely blind and one that uses some type of
software zoom to allow him to see the screen at all (and I do mean ZOOM,
he gets about 5-6 letters on screen at at time on his laptop).

It's been a while since I attended a balug meeting so I don't know for
sure that either person is still attending but you never know.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Davidm
