Scott, this is true. And what people should also remember is that what might be accessible to you might not be accessible to me. Some people claim that an app is not accessible because they can't get it to do what ever it is they want it to do, but in some cases what they didn't know is that if they had just been brave enough to try that one unlabeled button on the bottom of the screen, they would have found the success they were looking for. Yes, quite often an app is truly not accessible, but often it's a lack of knowledge or a person's fear which keeps said person from realizing that an app is more accessible than they thought.

Yes, many apps could be much more accessible but some apps, because of their very visual nature, are not accessible and never will be. The notion that all apps should be made accessible is completely ridiculous. As blind people, we do have some obstacles that simply can never be removed. That's just life.

Well said, very well said indeed! BTW: I myself am totally blind, have been since 1995, some folks seem to have a "Don Quixote" mentality and choose to "tilt at windmills" regardless as to the efficacy of that tilt. Apple, while not perfect (and just what of a organic nature is perfect?), has made a real commitment to including disabled customers in the circle of technology. ---- Holland's Boy, Bill - "Be careful about reading health books.
