Hi G,
You are right, it's just so frustrating to see commercial venders like Apple do
something like this, despite us being a minority market etc and then to have
individuals and Blindness organisations (who really should know better) to
stamp on the idea without even giving it a fair shot. Because something is not
Windows and because something doesn't work like JFW it is immediately decried
as bad. News flash - because something doesn't work like the Mac or Unix and
because Screen Readers don't work like Voice over doesn't make them immediately
bad - it just makes them different.
But talking about the IPad, I don't quite see the advantage of having such a
device am i missing something?
