RICIS, Inc. is now pleased to offer all of the wonderful products made by Ai Squared to assist the visuall impaired or as I personally prefer visually challanged. I certainly don't think that my visual impairment has handicapped me in any way. It may slow me down at times and make be a better leader through successful deligation of tasks that exceed my visual dextarity, but by no means has it stopped me in my tracks, as many have allowed it to. I believe it is mind over matter. If you don't mind than it doesn't matter.

ZoomText is a very wonderful product. On my bad days when my eyes are out of focus I use it's text to speach features heavily to read to me what I can't see. On days when my visual cortex is cooperating and not in spasm I greatly enjoy the rich feature set, flexability, and freedom that the ZoomText magnifier offers.

I have struggled with stickers, keyboard overlays, and many promised large print keyboards for the past 30 some years. The Ai Squared folks have made two excellent keyboards. One in high contrast black letters on yellow keys and one with white letters on black keys. I personally have chosen the later. This is both subjective taste as well as objective functionality based on your type of visual impairment.

For those that just need a basic magnifier with out the bells and whisltes we also have the BigShot Magnifier. This may be sufficient for those of you that are privalged to have good eye sight that is just fading a bit with the years.

All of the software products are available with extended support plans and upgrade protection. So you can always have the latest and greatest version with the hot new features that continue to make our lives just a bit easier. Further, if you get stuck there are wonderful support folks here at RICIS, Inc. and at Ai Squared that can help you work through any special needs you might have or new challanages you face.

It has been neary 10 years since we have raised our minimum rates. Painfully the cost of doing business in our current economy is more than our current rates can sustain. We had 19 customer bankrupcies in 2006 alone. It seems that everyone is experiencing significantly longer trends in customer payments. We will strive to work with our existing and new customers to contrain costs as best we can. Regardless of cost per hour. The bottom line is the overall project cost and value we deliver with our services, highly skilled consultants, as well as bredth and depth of knowledge.

Today the new RICIS, Inc. website was unveiled to the public after two days of maintenance and upgrades.

New features that were present with the site include:

• New images for faster load times.
• New site layout for improved ease of use.
• Common include and style structures for uniform look and feel throughout the site.

Also appearing with the new site is the brand new 'Printer Friendly Version' feature for every page on the site.

According to the developers, there are many more features that are currently planned for the site. Some of these include:
