Hello.

What I think Chris and others are saying is not that they wouldn't be willing to help Mac users get accessibility. However, I feel Mac users should take the leadership in advocating for such. Something that bothers me is folks who don't take responsibility for their own accessibility issues. Again, if you start an accessibility project and need our help,I'm sure Windows users, most of us, anyway, would be more than willing to help, but please don't call us selfish because we don't take leadership on something about which we know very little.

Thanks for listening.

Are! You! Serious!!!??????
So, your saying righyt now that accessibility is only validly avaiable for windows users and that is fine? not the blind that choose to use anything else?
Wow, this is selffish If I ever heard of it. thats just so amazing, and sad for all of us as a blind community as a hole.

Hey, if people want alternatives, I believe the answer is most likely yes.
I have to be honest when I say that I have absolutely no interest in using a mac, since Windows and JAWS serve their purposes just fine for me. That doesn't necessarily mean I won't ever try a Mac, but for now, this works.

advocates for accessibility such as darel shandrow and the blind
access journal fight or request for accessibility for us, or is
accessibility only a jaws thing?

Subject: The Juice Receiver is cross-platform

Hello:

I've changed the subject line since this question wasn't relevant to
my last message, at all.

As I understand it, the Juice Receiver can be used on both Linux and
the Mac.  It's entirely cross-platform.

If you get it to work with Voice Over, I'd love to hear that since,
as far as I can tell, VO's ability to work depends on how programs
are developed.  But I don't want to turn this list into a discussion
of Mac and VO since there are plenty of other places to do that.

Go look for what you want to try by going directly to sourceforge  at:
http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/index.php

I found this by using Google and searching on keywords:
"ipodder for the Mac."  It was right there on the first page.  Don't
forget that Google's your friend.
Best,
Jennifer
