I'd like to second this. It takes a heck of a lot of guts to
apologize so publicly, and I do applaud you for doing so. Thank you.
It will surely be much better next time.

Hi Pratik,
I appreciate your posting of the blog. I would imagine that you felt
particularly bad about the whole thing. As I mentioned, it was most
certainly a frustrating experience even listening to it. That said,
I applaude your willingness to participate in the first place. I
know how difficult it is to get up in front of an audience and be
put on the spot. When something goes wrong, it's a terrible feeling,
naturally.I'm sorry you had to experience that.
It's probably true that it might've disuaded a few potential
switchers but I'm confident that this will only be temporary. One
set back won't be irreparable. As the Mac OS gains popularity, as it
is always doing, VoiceOver, I'm sure, will improve and will
undoubtedly become more and more attractive to potential switchers
in the blind community.
Again, thanks for the blog post and I appreciate your contributions.
Best,
slau
