Hi, My wife is using rdp at work and needs to switch back and forth from the rdp session to her desktop to see her outlook as part of her job. She is using remote desktop to connect to their remote computer as there a way for her to switch between her desktop and the remote session without having to log off?

Which program do people recommend for terminal sharing?
by Jen Bottom 08 Jun '15

Hi, One of the products I support lives on Linux boxes, so I have been exploring the possibility of using something like 'tmux' or 'tmate', for times when it is useful to see what the customer themselves is doing on their box as they do it. So far I have found 'tmate' ok, but 'speak' does seem to like reading out bits of the session from before. reading up from the bottom of the window seems to work ok though. Also, if I create the 'tmate' session on my Mac all is good, but if I connect to someone els's session, VO seems to get very hung up on telling me about light box drawings. Any thoughts on the best solutions for terminal sharing are very much appreciated. Cheers, Jen.

maybe some one could record an audio discription of the screen shots that will play when you get to those questions.

Thus some components of the exam might be designed to prevent this from happening in turn making that part of the exam inaccessible.

Hello all. I currently work at a College's IT department. They are about to start using SCCM. Does anyone have any experience or could give me some advice as to how I could use it. Or not since I don't know the status on screen reader friendliness for it. Thanks Herman
