[acb-hsp] HELP FINDING A JOB IN HUMAN RESOURCES

[Peter Wolfe]

Dear Peter,


    Thank you for that information but that is not my number one fear
of human resources as a job prospective in my field. I'm more worried
about whether or not Window-Eyes is up to the job or not. Its my
limited naive or non-naive understanding that Window-Eyes isn't up for
the challenge of tackling database driven Access or other softwares
akin to it. Am I or am I not correct in this assessment?
