You know, even totally blind people do things like watch TV and the like. There are also an increasing number of "described audio" programs for the blind. CSI, for example, is available with described audio - every TV made in the past decade or so has a function called SAP (Secondary Audio Program), which often used to be used for offering both English and Spanish audio for the same show at the same time. If you watch CSI (the only show that comes to mind immediately as having it), try watching it with SAP enabled. It might be buried under a menu or something. I say in the exact middle of the very front row for The Two Towers, BTW, on account of the subtitles I knew would be present. I was able to read them just fine from where I sat. Obviously this means I need a movie theater in my room for watching subtitled anime, right? =D -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Certified free software nut <kira> Ada, the only language written to milspec. <Mikster> <shudder>
