My husband has passed on but he was fairly good at figuring out where I was and where I needed to be, wish he were here now as I have to work with software that is less than Jaws friendly with boxes that they call pull downs that don't pull down, scroll bars that don't scroll and more, plus the program locks up often and the only way to fix it is to push the button on the computer, since I was using Outlook and it was open, it now has a data error and a long pathname that yields no file if I type it into a search bar and so buried so I can't find it. Driving me crazy, only wish I had a sighted computer savvy person available, most of my family are proud that they don't know anything about computers if they are around at all.

He spent 40 years as a graphic artist and taught electronics; yet, he's pretty buffaloed by where I am and how for me to navigate the way I need to on my own. It looks to him that there are things outside the perimeters of JAWS that I can't get to.
