I rang the RNIB's technical support line a few days ago. When I was asked which form of Windows I was using, I said I wasn't. Naturally I was asked what I was using. I said Linux, and waited for the usual response something along the lines of "We don't support Linux". Or "ye wha?" Instead he said: "I'm afraid that I don't know Linux, but I used to use Unix. Do you think that that would help at all?" Wait - it gets better. And no, I have not had a merry lunch ;-) I responded enthusiastically and said that I am perfectly happy at the command line and that I was sure that Unix knowledge would come in handy. He made various suggestions, then said that he had a colleague who had also used Unix and he would see what ideas he came up with. He then rang me back and said that he had discussed it with his colleague and gave me a few more ideas. But it was what else he was saying that was the icing sugar on the cake!!! He kept saying how exciting this was, and what fun and it was ages since he had so much fun, or enthusiasm along those lines. I said that I would let him know what, if anything worked. Please do! he said. :-)) In front the tide climbs slow, how slowly: but westward look, the land is bright!
