Until now we have payed absolutely no special attention to handicaped
people, and I am really positively surprised by what you say. I suppose
this shows that well designed console tools are well... well designed,
so that blind people will like them just as much as those who aren't blind
do.

Noted. It would help us a LOT if you could elaborate on this a bit.
I can imagine that you and other blind Mandrake users (whereever they are)
know much more about tools/programs which you actually find usefull, than
me or anyone else here.

Well, why not? But we really need your help, because we do not know in
which direction should this "little effort" go.
