Ed,

Depending on what job you get, you may be lucky.  Hopefully "they"
will let you set up a Linux workstation.  

I develop web applications for a real estate finance research group.
If my company weren't on the Winternet, I'd have a Linux box, with
Speakup and Emacspeak on it.  Why the latter?  All those productivity
tools.  

Thanks for introducing yourself.  I look forward to hearing from you.
Keep us posted as you make your journey toward full conversion; We
welcome you to the fold LOL.  Oh, incidentally, My company's chief IT
guy (hard-core Winternet), is beginning to consider Linux seriously,
especially for database and web back-ends.  

Take Care,

-Dave
