List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all. Well, I just got my college schedule for next year, which is focused on CS which is what I am majoring in. However, I have noticed a fairly large problem. The first semester I have to take a Java class. Once I found this out, I thought about how Java is not accessible by any means. I mean I have tried about 4 different java runtimes, and none of them work. Also, Java applets are a real pain when it comes to being accessible. I am trying to work with the DSO (ddisability services office) to try to work something out. However, I keep getting the answer "This course is required in order to go on to other courses. This is the most basic class in the CS major requirements." Does anyone have any suggestions to work around this? Or, has anyone been able to use something like Freenet, written in Java, successfully? I certainly have not. Thanks for any feedback! May you code in the power of the source, may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you, throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.
