Hi Cheryl,
As many of you remember, probably, I've been a huge advocate for giving
Apple plenty of time to get iTunes updated to the current standards that
Apple has developed themselves in terms of accessibility. My patience,
too, is running a bit thin. They've not made any firm stance on this in
years. I think it may be time for a coordinated campaign to try to make
Apple more contious of the importance of this to many of us.
So, yes, I agree. They are rapidly running out of excuses.

my issue isn't with finding other apps to play my files. My biggest
issue is that I can't even use the iTunes store, not to subscribe to
podcasts that have to go through the iTunes store, not to buy from
radio365 or rhapsody (I can assure you not one of those over 2 billion
songs purchased through iTunes was purchased by me but not for lack of
effort!!). ITunes is a major part of Apple, as Steve illustrated in
the Keynote message; iTunes is also a big part of Macosx and a big
part of today's ipod scene. After nearly two years of voiceover, I'm
no longer sympathetic to the idea that poor apple has to maintain two
versions of iTunes and therefore can't/won't make it accessible to
those of us using the Mac.
