Rich,
Yes, as I stated before, I support the ADA laws in regards to places of
public accomidation and the like. I do not support it where involves
consumer products. There is a world of difference there.

Companies should be encouraged to provide accessibility voluntarily.
I agree. What happens if they don't. In this specific case (the iPhone), it
doesn't make any real difference. We have other accessible choices. However,
if companies, theaters, and other places of public accomedation (to take one
example) aren't forced to make their facilities wheelchair accessible, then
they won't do so on their own because its way too expensive. I agree that
the gofvernment is much to envolved in our lives as it is, but sometimes it
really is necessary. The ada exists for a reason. It would be nice if we
didn't need laws (and lawyers) to force people to do what most people agree
is "the right thing", but unfortunately it is sometimes necessary in the
world we happen to live in.
Just my three cents...
