Onj,

Oh, BTW, thanks for the explanation! Sorry for not taking the time on my own to read the about page.

I'm curious about the list, and about QWS.  Are many on the list blind or
visually impaired, and, is QWS written with accessibility mind?

A direct quote from the http://qws.AndreLouis.COM about page:
QWS is a MIDI sequencer program that runs on 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows (that is, Windows 95 and upwards). QWS was written by James Bowden, a visually impaired
computer programmer. James writes...
It all started when I bought a new soundcard which sadly wouldn't work with my existing DOS sequencer. It was then that I had to switch to a Windows sequencer, but which one? Being visually impaired, it is vital that programs I use are "accessible", that is, programs must be usable entirely from the keyboard and must work well with special software which "reads" the screen and turns it into synthetic speech ... yes, my computer talks to me!

Hopefully that answeres your questions?

For me personally, I am one of the first ever users of QWS and I am totally blind.
