Hi John,
     I'm here in Tallahassee and thought I would pass along to you a few 
ideas on your funding problem.
     The first is that if your employer is willing to say that the part 
time employment may lead to a full time position, then the diviy{sion of 
blind services os obligated to assist you in obtaining the position 
including the purchasing of needed equipment.  Sometimes you just have to 
push your case and contact your representative to intervean for you.
     The second is the high-technology fund administer by Independence 
for the blind here in Tallahassee.  It provides loans for needed special 
equipment at two percent (I just obtained a kurzweil personal reader this 
way).  You can contact them for an application by calling: (904) 
681-6835.
     If you'd like to talk with me in person you can reach me at:
   
home: (904) 877-0061
work: (904) 487-2680
  
     Good luck,
  
     Chip Orange
