Didn't the NFB or ACB kind of force Apple to develop a screen reader in

I was under the impression that Berkeley systems got bought by Alva and, this

Hi,
In QuickTime, use the Export feature. If you select iPhone, iPad and AppleTV,

According to wikipedia Berkeley systems was bought out by Sierra Online
in 1997 for $13.8M. Sierra was bought by Vivendi and apparently was then
folded into iwin.com. I've met Peter Korn who was one of the primary
