There are a couple of points I would like to make in response to some of the pro – NFB emails post it out here.
First of all, when the low-quality iOS releases came out both for 8.0 and 9.0 I immediately called Apple support complaining about the fact that obviously the marketers had taken control of Apple and not the people responsible for software development. I can guarantee each and everyone of you as a retired software engineer that nobody wants to put their name on poor quality software that they're responsible for developing and delivering. This is simply a case of the marketers haven't taken over control of Apple in such a way that deadlines were more important than software quality. I will give you that and I strongly believe that is a problem throughout this industry – not merely Apple. Yes, Google and Microsoft definitely included. And secondly, before anybody calls anybody else out on this list for not being grateful and not participating in the improvement in the lives of people who are blind – I can only say to you that I don't wear that endeavor on my sleeve. I am, I am sure, many others on this list have giving of their time and effort to try to improve the lives of all blind individuals. I have been involved in all manners of advocacy organizations – not just for the blind and visually impaired but for other disabling conditions as well. And I am certain that others on this list have done likewise. It is nothing less than tilting at windmills for anybody to suggest that somebody else is not duly grateful. I strongly suggested if somebody doesn't know who they're referring to and what that person's past is, it might be wise for them to just remain quiet about it. Yes, I am coming to Mary's defense year! – Bill and leader dog Holland P.S. And likewise, I am extremely grateful for the training that school such as leader dog provide that I might have the independence of being led by an intelligent animal. There's another case where in if he sticks it's nose where doesn't belong! -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
