Hello Dane Alright; just to be clear. I'm talking about all Apple devices; iPhones, iPads, iPods and their notebooks and desktop computers. Judging by the influx of Mac Access members we're getting, many of them from down-under, it would seem that popularity is increasing rapidly. But I'm not in possession of any statistical information so I won't bother to push this further. All I can say is this, and I'm sorry that you're not interested in the views or comments of anybody who happens to have vision, as you indicated to me privately earlier this week. Whoever does the right thing and promotes accessibility at a reasonable price, and at the moment I still think that "someone" is Apple, it has to be a good thing. I'm all for those of you less fortunate than myself having just as good accessibility as I enjoy. Believe it or not; I'm actually passionate about this and it's for that reason that Gordon and I, mainly on my suggestion I should add, subscribe to both MSDN and Apple Developer ne tworks programmes, not just one of them but all of them. We want to do good for the wider community and it's much more than just getting to play with the latest and greatest I can assure you. I won't go further because I can't. But all the same, don't anybody dare please ever suggest that we/I/Gordon are committed totally to betterment of accessibility.

As for Microsoft Narrator? Well under Windows 7 its certainly better than it had been and yep, poor accessibility is something that Microsoft have managed to get away with for far too long. ======================================= The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
