Understood.  Please get back to me when we are independent and equal.

Subject: RE: RE any tax programs fully accessible to screen readers?

For some, this would be a less taxing solution, punn intended 'grin',
but ultimately, it should be our choice, because that's what 
independence and being equal is all about.

One might say we could hire readers, we don't need a screen-reader, 
that's too much trouble, someone can read to us, or put on our 
clothes for us, or do our shopping for us,
you get the picture 'grin'.

Take my computer to a shop and have it fixed, who needs to know how 
to install windows, or replace bad memory, or cook, let someone else 
do it for us.

The more tools we have that put us on an equal footing with the 
sighted, the better off we are.
