Stew,  We have an opening for a technology specialist at the New
Mexico Commission for the Blind, which will pay in the mid
twenties, depending on experience.  I have posted here, in Abled
and on CompuServe, and have not been overwhelmed with blind or
sighted applicants.  With an unemployment rate of 70 percent, I
would expect more blind applicants for most positions, especially
for teachers of the blind.
