Remember that Windows allows you to use the command line now too; PowerShell, get strong in it! You can also run SSH on Windows either via Cygwin or via PowerShell server (PowerShell run through SSH directly). -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Barry Toner Sent: Monday, November 04, 2013 11:55 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] How to sell yourself to employers as a blind, but capable technologist Hi, I've been thinking about this lately myself. Apple is a decent area, as is Linux. One of my roles is to oversee all of our Apple hardware, iPads, iPhones etc. I manage our Mobile Device management system. These can be hit and miss regarding accessibility, luckily purely by chance the one we use is very accessible, Meraki, which is owned by Cisco. Linux because if you can use the command line you're flying. You can SSH into boxes, not having to worry about expensive remote access software like Serotek's RIM and installing screen readers on the other side to faf with log me in.

Is there an area I can go into where the tools are more likely to be accessible, or even where lots of commandline and other non-graphical knowledge is a definite asset and would get me a leg up on the point-and-click sighted competition? That's probably a pipe dream, but I thought I would ask here anyway. Good information is hard to come by.
