If you're the Mark BurningHawk that I know from the AGRIP list, then it probably wouldn't have worked out, anyway. I'm pretty sure that particular Mark doesn't have an undergraduate degree in Computer Science. *smile* If that's not you, then apologies.
Apple has already employed blind devs. I've known a few. A buddy of mine was with them for several years. Him and I used to spend time during our teens putting Apple II and Mac screen readers through disassembler tools and manually hacking in modifications with a byte editor. That's the kind of people that they need. I'm really disappointed that he chose to move on and accept another offer. I would have liked to have been there, but I was working for Microsoft at the time, and I have a life now that I wouldn't leave for even cool work like this. Apple will absolutely hire a blind dev, but they won't hire someone for this type of position just to be the equivalent of a full time beta tester, a Mac accessibility advocate, or booster. The Computer Science and QA skills are essential.
