I am afraid that employers who might otherwise run a good business many times "lose it" when it comes to how to deal with a blind or otherwise disabled person. I've seen it happen. Not often--but have seen it happen. I have seen employers who are just fine and who have good businesses worry more about how people will get to the bathroom o to lunch or will get home and to work than how the tasks will be performed. I'm afraid this happens perhaps more than you realize. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!382!60!Margo.Downey Internet: Margo.Downey@f60.n382.z1.fidonet.org
