Hello all
Windows 8 will still support the traditional mouse and keyboard. What
you should worry though are how accessible will the Windows 8 phones and
tablets be being they will be fully touch screen I should imagine? I
know Narrator is included in every Windows 8 edition, including those
embeded in phones and tablets, but what about the other screen readers?

Hi:
I had a discussion this morning with a sighted friend and we talked
about windows 8 and tiles and touch screen.
Questions came up that I could not answer being a tottallly blind
individual.
For example are all home computers touch screen and will they still work
with a keyboard and mouse?
If your sighted or blind and it is a touch screen, why do you need a
mouse or keyboard?
If you don’t need a keyboard and or a mouse, then how to you type a word
document by reaching in front of you and tappings letters on the screen ?
So, lastly, are home computers now just a touch screen and are they
vertical or flat in front of you on the desk?
This all came about because of windows 8 and tiles on the screen. Flat
screen or vertical or is the screen or moniter on a 45 degree slant.
Thanks and sorry for the ramble, I am just seeking clarification.
Don
