Hi all.
It is very sad indeed to hear of the passing of the businessman who not only thought about products for the general public, but also thought about making such products accessible to the blind and visually impaired community. Without him, we would be stuck in the microsoft world like you say Lynn, and VoiceOver would be a dream and not a reality. Microsoft is only now slowly catching up with Apple for competetor's sake. But it may be too late. Who knows. Anyway, may he rest in peace and my sincere condolences go out to everyone at Apple, as well as those who loved and knew Steve.
Take care.

Hello everybody

It was with the greatest of regret that Gordon and I learned of the passing 
away of Steve Jobs yesterday. Steve will long be remembered I think by each and 
every one of us on this list; as, without his efforts, his vision and his 
determination, we would none of us be in the position we are today. Whether we 
use Macs, iOS devices or both, we are all beneficiaries of Steve's work. 
Without it we'd all be stuck in the Microsoft net and all be paying through the 
nose for what we often take for granted.

Steve, whether we knew him personally or not, has had a huge impact upon the 
lives of millions upon millions of people around the globe. Were it not for 
him, this list would not exist. The very fact that the servers powering the 
group are running OSX is testimony to his efforts and I am sure we are all 
deeply grateful for them.

May Steve rest in peace in a better place than this world; and may his legacy 
continue to speak for him many years from now.

Lynne
