Hi, Scott and all. A couple of days ago, I sent a message to Code
Factory. I realize that I am late in getting to this thread, but
below is the message as I wrote it. Thanks, and I trust this will
prove helpful in some way, or at least, I hope it will.
Hello, friends at Code Factory. Over the past few years, the
Macintosh platform has become much more accessible to persons who are
blind or vision-impaired. It has evolved to the point that a great
many of us blind Mac users no longer use Windows on a daily basis. I
do understand that there are virtual machines that we can use on our
Macs to give us Windows, but we absolutely do not want to do this. I
am of the understanding that your products can be made available
in .cab files, but this is not the optimal way of installing them, as
it does require the presence of the screen reader to already be on the
phone. I can tell you with great certainty that the number of blind
Mac users is growing, and unfortunately for them, including myself in
that list, your products have become very hard indeed to install. Is
it not, therefore, reasonable to ask that Code Factory take the time
to adapt their products to the Mac platform as well as the Windows
platform? I really don't think this would be too difficult, and it
would make our lives as Mac users much easier. We love your products,
and we tell people about them everywhere we go. I can't imagine my
life without MSP, but alas, it is becoming a very serious pain to
install, as I and others do not use Windows regularly, if at all. If
it wasn't for having to install your products on my system, I would
delete the virtual machine that I have set up to run Windows XP. A
few years ago, it would not have been acceptable or advisable for you
all to focus a little attention on the Macintosh platform, but now,
more and more blind people are switching, and we need our Code Factory
products to be available for installation on our chosen platform.
Thank you very much for reading this, and I do hope this message is
sent to wherever it needs to be sent to. I want the word to be spread
far and wide that Mac users are here to stay, and we desperately need
an installer for Code Factory's product. If I can assist in any way,
please let me know. Thanks for your indulgence, here, and I
appreciate you reading this one. I wish you all the very best from
Central Alabama, USA!
