The 2 blind linux users that I "know" (mainly from on-line, although I met one of them briefly at an anti-swpat-meeting in Brussels too) both say that linux is more accessible than Windows. They both use a braille device and console linux though... > It is true that many visually impaired users use speech output (in part > because braille devices are very expensive -- a separate problem). Another reason is that a significant number of blind people weren't born blind, and those people (especially the elderly?) don't always have the courage to start learning to read & write again. -- Jan Claeys -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
