Good morning Greg and all:
Here is a silly question.
Let me start by saying I agree with Greg. we should give this guy
some kind of prize.
Here is my question. what kind of prize?
If anyone is still reading this here is my point. the prize idea ...
which does not necessarily have to mean money ... is a great idea.
there has to be a way to reward and recognize people who actually
take into consideration the programming needs and wants of the
consumer who uses this list. there is a considerable amount of time
spent, and rightly so, pointing out when an application falls short.
this could be an opportunity for the list to think about a way to say
good job to someone who might be encouraged to do it again.
I imagine someone is thinking that just sending emails is enough
though I am proposing something a tad more personal and something
that could be seen by others. maybe the annual macvisionaries plack
or a photo album of list members sort of giving the users a face. I
hope someone has better ideas than me (smile)
Just my two cents and my apologies for agreeing with Greg in public.
hopefully you will not judge him to harshly given the people who read
his mail (smile). this idea is not his fault (smile). Hopefully he
will forgive me as well (smile).
Take good care and I wish you enough.

accessible application from a third party I've seen even has VO
help. No footnotes or endnotes that I can find but everything else
is there even a non-visual way to set tab stops! It get a 5 for
sure just added to to the database.

Looks as though you can't change fonts.

Hi all.
this is just a quick note. While flicking through macupdate this
morning, I ran across bean.
there's been lots of talk around here about word processing, so I
grabbed it, even though I don't really have much use for such a
program.
The news looks good. First, it's free and appears to come with
source
code. Second, it looks, on a very brief inspection at least, as
though it's accessible. At least, most of the toolbar buttons could
be read and the text entry area can be seen and edited and so on,
which is usually the hassle with these sorts of apps.
It's got word counts and character counts and such. I'm not really
sure what else it can do. As I said, I don't have much interest
and I
don't have a lot of time at the moment for fiddling. Anyway, have a
look for it on macupdate, I also can't immediately find the link
<hits self on head>. I'm interested to see whether those of you who
use these sorts of apps think it's useful.
