Thank you Don,

Unfortunately, due to disability restrictions, I cannot participate in
reading these books unless I get a screen/book reader.  I will speak with
my eye doctor as to whether this is necessary, but I have basically given
up.   When my doctor sent me to UCB to look into this, they merely gave me
a prescription and did not address the underlying problem in any way (my
eyes pretty much focus on 2 different points, and one eye is effectively
cancelled out). I can read, but I don't really understand when I can't read
and when I fail to understand. For example, I can read just fine at
terminal emulators, but have never really gotten success out of IDEs.  This
has been since I was 26.  I have been in and out of eye glasses since 3rd
grade.   However, I managed to graduate summa cum laude, top graduate in my
department according to department chair, and land a R&D position at LLNL.
I am now getting to the age where I require glasses to even read, and I
expect to get reading glasses my next treatment.

I suspect that my email compositions suck, and have even gotten feedback
from a colleague that I have problems with composition.

I will look for introductory videos on the Semantic Web.  I do not know
whether my insurance will help with the screen/book reader or not (should I
learn Braille?).

Thanks,

John
