Hi all,

Interesting point of view.  Not sure it's accurate, but definitely
interesting.  <smiling>  It may even work, if, I say if, the
mainstream market can be persuaded that it is just what is needed.
Somebody in this discussion used the illustration of the typewriter.
Good choice, why, because that device was, in the 1880s designed
specifically *for* a blind person so that person could write more
effectively.  

You may want to be careful when talking about Apple's screen reader.
I have heard that it is good, but it doesn't give sull access yet.
Perhaps there have been improvements? 

Ann P.
