Personally, I miss the phones with physical buttons/keyboards. Try using
a touchscreen with cold fingers and see how far you get. One size does
not fit all.--Matt, N1IBB.

Problem is you i phone users think everyone can use one and can use a
touch screen. They are not for everyone. I think blind folks fall
into that worse than any group. if it works for me, it is great for
everyone....

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.
