engine, then find the info you're looking for on that site. HTH.

Hi Charles,
Well, we can certainly hope. As you say Popular Mechanics is
redistributed via NLS and perhaps more blind and visually impaired
people will here about us. However, there is a bigger hope that
mainstream game developers will take notice of a growing community of
blind people who are looking fore more and more accessible games. If
nothing else I think people who know someone who is blind will go
online and give them some games to play.
It amazes me how many blind people who are out there who have
computers and are still in the dark when it comes to computer games. I
suppose part can be blamed on the rehab centers which buy them, show
them Jaws, and don't mention there are games and things to do, or even
worse tell them specifically that the system is to be used for work
and not play.
Case in point. A few years ago I was contacted by a blind woman in my
area who does medical transcription at the hospital. Well, she has a
computer, and she was just looking for a few simple games like Uno,
Solitare, Hearts, etc and didn't have any idea that the Spoonbill and
Jim Kitchen games existed. I installed them on her home machine, for
which she was greatful, but I didn't do anything the local BSVI rehab
tech ould have done when he gave it to her to begin with. All because
rehab tends to see computers simply as tools for work rather than the
multipurpose device it is.
Anyway, my hope is that more people will hear about us and will join
in the fun. They need more resources than rehab centers that aren't
too interested in making their clients aware of games and other things
to do besides running Word, Powerpoint, Outlook, and Jaws.
Cheers!

Right. I totally understand why she was on the list for a short time

than becoming a subscriber. One thought I do have, though, is this:
Popular Mechanics is produced for the Library of Congress Talking Book
program. I'm thinking that some blind readers might not know that such
games exist, and they will check this out. Also, parents, relatives and
friends of potential gamers might check into it for their blind family
members or friends because of this article. We can always hope, right?

Hello Nicole,
The website for 7-128 Software is
http://www.7128.com
but I do not remember the website for Phrase Madness.
Please, in the future use proper subject lines when posting to the
list. The subject of this thread is too generic, and I would have
rejected it were you on moderation on that grounds.
Thanks.

I have requested that Freedom Scientific do some work on getting the games
that come with Windows accessible. I have also contacted Microsoft on
this
so that they and FS might work together. I hate the attitude of FS.
They,
in no uncertain terms, let me know that jaws, after all, stands for "Job!
access! with speech". I asked them how many of their customers use their
computers at home? And how many of those computers already have the
Windows
games installed? And if they knew how many people play those games? They
are not at all interested in the project. Between organizations like
this,
and rehab, I get furiously disgusted.
