I really think that in the very near future "adaptive" technology will
become a thing of the past. We aren't there yet, but more and more things
are becoming voice activated, and voice commanded. The market for such
special items as Window-eyes and Jaws is waining. Heck, the I phone out of
the box gives the blind user access to GPS, internet searches, txt
messageing, etc, without the need of an expensive piece of software that at
best in moderately useable. It's just a matter of time.

Subject: Failure to hold VFO to account
Greetings all.
I've just flicked through the latest edition of Access World from AFB. We
are promised CSUN updates in April.
In the 21st Century, and with our accessible technology industry going
through significant change, not to mention the demise of the pony express,
the failure of someone to get down and dirty with VFO leadership suggests to
me that we are being let down by credible information sources.
Quite reasonably, AFB promotes its sponsorship of the Blind Bargain blogs
concerning CSUN events and exhibits, but these don't cut it iehter.
One of the disappointing things about services like Apple Vis is that
although often people exchange useful information, the leadership fails to
critique the shortcomings of Apple with respect to its developments in the
specialty area of access. The same seems true on the Windows side of the
divide - with no one prepared to critique VFO's behaviours.
Vaughan.
