Hello Peter,

Darcy and Holly are not commenting on NFB matters. Rather, they're 
commenting on blind community matters where the largest American 
organization of the blind may be misrepresenting certain aspects of 
accessibility on the Mac.

I don't own a Mac. I'm a Windows person. Even so, I am not going to sit in 
judgment of a platform about which I know little, especially when I know at 
least ten blind people who are using most aspects of the Mac quite 
successfully now. I have it from reliable sources whom I've learned to trust 
over the years that NFB is just dead wrong in many ways with this Braille 
Monitor article. We should all take care to have our facts straight before 
going public, especially when criticism is being delivered.

Regards,

Darrell

Good afternoon everyone,

    Okay buddy get your ass busy and develop a comparable MAC OS. Spend more
time undertaking such projects and less time commenting on NFB matters!

Hey, all.  I have just posted the latest episode of the BLindWorld
Blog and Podcast.  It is a reproduction of an episode of The
Screenless Switchers Podcast's latest episode, featureing a thorough
critique of a horrifying article published by the NFB concerning Mac
OS X.  Find my show at http://feeds2.feedburner.com/BWBP or download
the file directly at http://www.shanejackson.net/Screenless_Switchers.mp3
  and be warned that the podcast is over 2 hours in length.  I would,
however, urge you to listn to the whole thing, as it is most
relevant.  Thank you.
