I tend to use access in a rather broad sense. Many of the applications are indeed utilities, but quite a few are access tools in a more specific sense. I'll be testing the stick I've made on school networks to see what kind of issues I encounter. The folks at RSC suggest that there shouldn't be any significant barriers. --Paul Thanks for these observations and for the question, Brian. I tend to use access in a rather broad sense.

I have looked over the list and noticed that most of the apps are not dealing with accessibility but are rather utilities (don't get me wrong...utilities are helpful). I've run into issues also with students/teachers not being able to run apps off a usb drive due to perms restrictions placed on computers/networks by IT admins. I'm curious how others have handled this? Brian Paul,
