ly time I ever was given the overt impression that a company had no interest in accessibility was with propeller heaeds (reason). They just out and out told me at a Namm show a while back that they weren't about to change their program in any way. Even Gary Garitan who can be a little prickly at times did actually make an effort.

I am hearing folks say at least three different things regarding making software blind user friendly: If some companies do not make blind user software on the basis of difficulty, that is one thing, if they don’t do it on the basis of misinformation, that is another, and if they don’t do it because it is something they can do but they just don’t want to do it, that is another. For reason one, acceptance of the temporary dilemma is viable, for the second, as someone pointed out, if we blind folks know it will be an easy fix, lets educate the companies, if the 3rd is the reality, we might want to consider a civil rights rout. However, it looks like there is lots of speculation with the reality we are facing: are companies really not making their software user friendly because it is difficult? Are the companies not making their software accessible because they need more information because they lack expertise? Or are they not doing it on the basis of arbitrary or capricious action? Who really knows? I don’t -------- Original Message --------

Gord, I write companies regularly about this, but I don't have enough facts to make a strong case that will make sense to the programming folks. Can you elaborate on some of these methods? thanks Chris PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
