Also an introduction here.  I am new to this board but not to blindness.
 I don't know anything about you so I'll tell you a little about me.
I'm 49 and have RP.  I have light perception and shadows and sometimes
can even recognize the shape of something all according to the proper
light.  I don't know what your blindness is from, but if you are
otherwise in good health and reasonably young, my advise to you is keep
trying until you hit on just the right thing.  You have a lot of
"considers" in your message.  Don't just consider, give them a try in
order of what really interests you.  I'm presently tele-marketing for
specialty advertisers.  I am doing it from home 20 hours a week and got
into it as a way of learning about computers.  The state gave me the
equipment two years ago and in one more year it will belong to me.
Hooray!!  That was a big incentive.  I do understand your discouragement
though.  I know I could be doing lots more but my mobility isn't that
great.  I guess I should say my orientation more than mobility.  Maybe
several of us should get together and start a company, each contributing
their special skills.  It sounds like you have many skills and a good
head to boot.  Has BVS been of any help?  Type back.
