For Immideate Release:
(Phoenix) The BlindTechs Network (located on the internet at http://
blindtechs.net ) launched a resource that comes in to the Access
Technology market at what seems to be a diffferent angle from the
norm. On sunday the Arizona based technology company went live with
a service called Macpedia. based on the wiki technology.
Macpedia is what promises to be the centralized location for all
things Macintosh (Apple Computer). Adding already to the vast
amount of services already offered such as a community internet
radio station, free email either through pop or webmail, technical
support message boards and now the Macpedia.
The Macpedia was started when it was realized by many on the
MacVisionaries discussion email list (http://macvisionaries.com) an
email list focused on Macintosh use by the blind. that there wasn't
a real centralized location for Mac usage by the blind and visually
impaired. while it has been discussed for a while with no one
really taking hold and making the talk and ideas in to a reality.
The BlindTechs Network stood up to the plate and rolled it out.
When asked, what was the company's motivation on offering the wide
range of services at low or no costs. founder and owner of the
Network Gabe Vega responded with "I have come to realize that
there are a lot of individuals out there that can't aford to have a
constant internet connection. so that is why we provide web based
email. I know that a lot of people I've ran in to in life always
wanted to get on the radio air waves and show there tallants, noww
they can by utilizing and broadcasting on our internet radio
station. and obviously I also know first hand on what it is like to
not be able to aford the costly maintainence agreements and
technical support before I got in to this field. that is why we
offer totally free technical support either through email, message
boards, telephone and we even have a toll free number for those who
can't call long distence."
Gabe also spoke further about the Macpedia that was just launched
and explained that the information currently on the site is how to
switch from windows Access Technology to the Mac and its free
offerings that come built in to the operating system.
"The Macpedia is comprised of articles ranging from switching from
jaws or window eyes to VoiceOver the macintosh screenreader. I feel
that the time is coming for the ones who are looking for an
alternitive to the virus and spyware ridden Windows operating
system is better off investigating it now rather than waiting till
the Windows Vista disaster falls upon them and causes more disabled
individuals who already have a hard time keeping their employment
just make it that much more difficult."
