* Good morning Donna, I definitely understand your point of view, and I share it in part. The reason that some technologies work better with assistive technologies on Windows than on the Mac, not speaking about Facebook in particular, is because assistive technology vendors for Windows accommodate application and web development techniques that don't follow standards. The Apple approach, which has annoyed me more often than not, is to not accommodate these poorly written applications and web-sites. Arguably the owness for making an application accessible is that of the developer, and not of the assistive technology vendor, however, this means that some things will be poorly accessible, since generally speaking developers don't really tend to understand accessibility, or standards in general, very well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
