See, that's the problem with us blind ppl. Just wait, be a bit patient, and 
relax! Hell,  keyboards will be here for a long time. This would even effect

sighted secutarries etc who used a keyboard. It's just total non-sense to 
think that the keyboard will be wiped out  with the new evolution of touch 
screen. That's ridiculous!
BTw, as expressed in earlier posts, this will be an option. And, if this was

gonna happen, Freedom scientific, GW micro, dolphin, serotek etc all work 
with microsoft. Do you guys realise how much bitching and moaning would take

place between AT companies etc?
Anyway, just my two british pouns worth lol.


Orhan.
