I think when I've worked at my work at home job for a while, I'll start my own screen reading help service.

Perfect example I get home from work or maybe a ballgame or concert or whatever it is midnight I am doing something on my home computer and I encounter a problem, what do I do?

Working as a blind person in the sighted world of computing is a hard slog and not as easy as you may think. I have tried to provide the hands on help in the past. It was not successful from my viewpoint. It often turns out that in fact you finish up teaching basic PC skills as well as how to use a screen reader, which is not what I signed up for. I will provide written help on user lists such as this, but no longer hands on help. I do, very occasionally, stand in as a trainer in a local class for teaching visually impaired people about PC skills when the usual trainer is on vacation.
