Tim, did I misunderstand your comments?
You said-
So what's wrong with asking someboddy something? It doesn't mean
it isn't accessible
This to me implies that you're saying that because one may need
sighted help to access something that that doesn't make that thing
inaccessible. Which prompted my note saying that the whole notion
of accessibility addresses precisely that. If one needs help
accessing something, then isn't that thing 'inaccessible' on one's
own?…
<smile> I'm not making value judgements here, but I really am
interested in your logic here.
As I'd mentioned before, isn't this the whole premise behind what
Apple is doing right now for this community making their OS /
products accessible on one's own?…
Anyway, thanks for your note and please do feel free to respond off
list if you'd like, in case this is straying too far OT.
Have a great day!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

I don't have a problem with whether someone chooses to not use the
resources available to them. Makes no difference to me, but
accessible to me means something that can be accessed, and it
seems to me that you can access it if you put a little work into it.

UH, Tim, yes, I believe it does mean exactly that. -That it
isn't accessible on one's own. yes?… Isn't that the definition
of 'accessible?' -That something can be accessed?…
Sorry, but this sounds simply as if you have a problem with
someone's preferences on how they deal with a situation. What's
fine for you may not be fine for others after-all.
In VO, this is why we have choices, because not everyone feels
the same way about how something should be accomplished, but in
the end, the fact that the thing *is* able to be accomplished on
one's own is what broadens the accessibility of the Mac. Yes?…
Anyway, thanks for your post and have a terrific day / evening!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

mean it isn't accessible just because you have to much pride to
ask some simple questions like where a button is on the screen.

Ten minutes with a sighted person describing buttons in the
scanner interface? Well, if that's really how accessible it is,
I'm really disappointed. It was my understanding this program
was supposed to be actually accessible. Where is the scanning
interface? In preferences or in settings?
