That model looks very similar to the one we have which is the CGS995. On my cooktop there is a grill in the center which can also be used as two additional burners. The range comes with the grill plate and a cast-iron burner grate which you can swap out depending on what you want to do. The

I believe the model I have is CGS995. It's a gas range and the cooktop is controlled with knobs along the front of the range so the accessibility isn't really an issue. However I would think that if the app is accessible for oven control then it should be likewise for other controls, but that

First of all, I don’t think you can compare a self-driving car with an appliance. First of all, the self-driving car does not yet exist and probably it won’t exist for a while yet. I know others will argue this and some think that us blind folk will all be able to jump into our self-driving car

So it sounds like at least it worked for you? I think the main thing to remember is that you first start editing and mark the app or apps you want to drag, then you go to where you want to drop them and it doesn't matter whether that is another spot on the same home page, on a different home

Offering an accessible app for an appliance does not, in my opinion, make that appliance accessible. The appliance needs to be accessible independently. From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Kimberly Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2019 3:53 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: IOS

I agree with this 100%. I fear that makers of self driving cars will assume that if they create an accessible iPhone app, that will constitute access to the car. In the unlikely event of the phone dies, what would happen then? > On Apr 23, 2019, at 8:14 AM, Larry Lumpkin wrote: > > Offering

True enough, about that extra step that you need if you just drop an item on a folder without first opening it. I do find however, that as I use Siri to launch apps more, I don’t care so much about where they are in the folder. But I still like to keep them in folders, because it cuts down on

You can't assume that everyone has a smart phone or speaker. Suppose something happens to your phone or speaker. Suppose you lose your Internet? Using an app or smart speaker is a great convenience, but cannot be the only solution for accessibility. Andy - Original Message -
