Maybe it was the only angle they could get without any sort of artifacting?

I dunno.

Been in IT too long to question why people do stupid shit with computers. There is rarely a good answer.

In fact, the only good answer I had was from a Doctor, which was surprising.

He wondered if we could map functions and modifiers to one of those MMO mice (gaming peripherals got a LOT of use at that place)

I asked, doing my due diligence, if there was an issue with the keyboard.

No, he just lost a hand in a car wreck when he was younger and mouse macros would just be a lot more efficient for him.

Fair enough, lets take a look at mice and their software and figure out what to order and how to hook it into the medical software.

I remember at my first proper job being asked to assist a blind man to get his computer working as he wanted it to, he worked in a different department and it was fascinating to see him interact with the computer.

He allways had the screen reader on at a low volume and mostly had normal computer issues, he had fitted some extra bumps on the keyboard to make it easier to navigate.

I even helped him as he remoted in and needed his RSA token reset, that was the one thing I remember that he couldn't manage alone and he had his wife read him the numbers off of the token, other than that, I don't remember him having any extra issues with the computer.

Anyway, I helped him install a mechanical braille display, I still don't understand how it enabled him to navigate windows, or perhaps he just used it for documents...

Anyway, until then I had no idea about braille displays.
