[Athen] JAWS and VM Ware

[Melanie Thornton]

Hi, Hadi.  Sorry for the delay.  Our Access Technician installed mine 
and did it real quickly but he is pretty tech savvy and has done it on 
several machines here in our office. 

If you want to email him with questions, I'm sure he'd be glad to 
respond.  His name is Justin Hicks: jxhicks at ualr.edu
