I just wanted to say thank you for your very useful, well organized and
superb web site. I have searched endlessly for information about magnifiers
for PC screens as a visual assist device for reasonable accommodation
for a handicapped employee. Yours was the only site that really had information
about the issue, described the issues with the technology, compared products,
had links that worked and provided vendor names. KUDOS and thank you!
I can tell you there are a lot of sites out there on this topic but none
thus far came close to helping me like yours did.
Sincerely,
Michelle, New Jersey
Thank
you for your help today
with searching "Solutions".
After taking my free
test drive I wrote
up a proposal for my
Coordinator to subscribe
to Solutions. We have
been print subscribers
for many years. I can
hardly believe how
helpful this will be
to our organization.
I downloaded articles
to share with our staff
and searched products
through the resource
directory. INVALUABLE!!!!
My enthusiasm for your
site will be shared
with everyone I meet.
