To each his or her own. However, if one person doesn’t like it, that 
doesn’t imply or infer it’s unusable for the blind and that any such claims 
should be made to Apple. If it honestly was the case, then, certainly, such a 
point should be made, but as I said, I don’t find the keyboard a problem and I 
have four clients who have bought them and are happy with them since they came 
out last year. Like with anything else, if you use it long enough, it becomes 
second nature, and I tend to be someone who adapts to those kinds of things 
anyway.
