I think that the company should be congratulated.  They have at least tried
to implement an accessible solution, which even the mighty Microsoft have
not bothered to attempt.  I think I'm right in saying that Ghost isn't at
all accessible, so I'd rather have a company that has made an effort to help
us.

Hi John,

Looks like you would need a hardware synth as things stand.

Still, I suppose the company should be congratulated for considering
accessibility and including speakup.

Whether you consider it a nightmare is a matter of oppinion, the fact is
that accessibility has been included in a world where that is often not the
case.

The linux command line is far more powerful than dos and I would suggest
that it has a lot to offer a blind user.
