Hi Will,
But that's simply a matter of meeting the application's system requirements.
Certainly, from a blindness or even a disabilities point of view, this has
nothing to do with the application's accessibility. All that concerns me
is, well, can I use the application as a person with a disability, so long
as I otherwise can meet the mainstream system requirements? By bringing in
other things that aren't directly relevant to accessibility for users with
disabilities, we run the risk of turning mainstream developers off our pleas
for greater accessibility for our needs. Let's only ask for what's
absolutely required.
Besides, Windows 95 is very old now... Time for folks to upgrade.
