New Linux PDA For Blind People

[Glenn at home]

True, but the disabilities as you mention don't face the information 
deprivation that we do, and that is what we are really addressing here.
The Deaf have Closed Caption, and can read print, and telephone 
accessibility, which we all pay for.
I think we are the least accommodated group of the disabled.
Not that we really need a lot, but access to technology is a really 
important one for us.

Actually, Glenn, I think blind people are outnumbered by several other
groups of persons with disabilities. There are about twice as many deaf
people, for instance. And, many more borderline low vision, and many
more with low grade mobility issues.
