Amen to that!!! -----Original Message----- From: blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blindcasting-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of JULIE MELTON Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 10:03 AM To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: The Juice Receiver is cross-platform 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.
