Hi Rob
I'm going to repeat myself here. When I finish work, unless I decide
to completely give up on the tech, I hope to cope with music, even if it
has to be on a limited basis, and I think the law should support
accessibility for blind people. Perhaps we should give our MP's some
ear- and headaches. When I hear of the magic that's available to the
sighted population, when listening to QVC, I feel we're being left well
behind. Ok, to a point, that's our tough luck, but I just don't feel
the government is making any attempt to support us. Trying to get
Braille these days is hard work. Maybe I'm wrong, but the impression
I'm getting is that the more advanced the software gets, the less
accessible it is even for existing programs. Anyway, I'm going home now
and leaving the technology behind for another day.
Sorry, moaning again.
Yvonne and Libby.

To be honest, with the exception of audio books, they're none of them
worth it. None of them work that well with screen-readers, the
download speeds aren't great, and the quality of the files isn't
always good. I'd set one up just for blind people, but it's illegal,
and I'd never break the law!.

For me, Kaaza isn't the same as it used to be. With recent downloads,
I
think you are now forced to upgrade to the latest version or you don't
get
the option to search. When you upgrade to the new version you are
asked to
install and use the Kaaza media desktop which is a real pain in the
butt to
use with a screen reader. I haven't been able to use Kazza for ages.
