Hi all, as you are probably aware from the nickname I am Blind although at certain times of the day I have about 8 inches of useful vision, this means I canjust about manage to light a ciggarette without burning myself-lol. I as most of you know teach children (on a volunteer basis) to use computers, mainly Microsoft office, would it be possible for anyone to build a set - Bootskin, animated wallpaper and screensaver with a guide dog/see

Glad you're ok Fuzzy, I am blind (I use special software) I used to live in Sheffield many moons ago (Kelvin Flats- they've pulled them down now) I think however that I could probably drive better than some of the drivers on the roads in the UK. I now live up in the lake district and I have just completed a three stage charity fundraiser for a childrens hospice up here, 1st stage was a blind drive (I had a driving instructor next to me in a dual control car) then I

Hello I am registered Blind ( I use the computer with the aid of special software ) I have a problem in that I go to a computer club for people with disabilities and other people with different disabilities tend to use my computer rather than one which is adapted for their own needs. Would one or more of you please try to create a Bootskin for me which says something like "This Computer is reserved for VIPs - Visually Impaired People". Thanks in advance gustheg
