Wow, quickbooks is a challenge alright. I've seen that software sighted and it
is loaded. Quicken is anotherscary thought. I don't think I am ready for such
an application that deals with financial aspects. What if I mess something up.
I would be totally messing with your private sensitive information. As much as
this sounds like a good idea to enable such independence financially for
planning, etc. I think playing with this aspect is dangerous for now. I am not
that adept to handle such important information. Another perspective is that
this software is a little expensive, except for quicken. Something free and
that doesn't deal with highly important information that can directly hurt you
if I make a mistake would be preferred. It just sounds dangerous to play with
this area right at the moment.

Peter, here's my thinking and I hope others will correct me if I'm wrong.
A website is not an application.
the applications involved would be your browser--i.e. or firefox, or chrome.
For that matter, google docs would not be an application either.
Just my thoughts.

Hi, for many blind people dating is quite difficult and many dating
websites don’t seem too accessible, and I have seen a few posts from people
trying to get various websites working. I’d be very grateful if the website
www.plentyoffish.com was made accessible in some way. It is pretty accessible
at the mom ent so shouldn’t require too much work, but there are a
lot of extra links and information you have to try and bypass to get to the
useful stuff.
I may be the only one who wants that website accessible, but I hope not and
I think lots would benefit from a fully accessible dating site where it’s not
just disabled people.
Peter
Thanks.

Hi folks,
As my 32nd birthday approaches, I think I am going to make a habit of
picking one new application per year to make jaws accessible. Picking Rhapsody
was not an easy task, but it taught me many things about an application that
seems next to impossible to make behave. I am taking off this summer from
school and will have the time to code a new application. Rhapsody Blind was a
test to see if I could pull it off, and it worked. I selfishly chose the first
one, now I'm looking for the popular vote on what you might want. I probably
won't start until this semester is over at the end of May, so this gives plenty
of time to decide. It would be a good idea to chat among each other and find
out what is needed or just plain want for entertainment purposes. So, let's
open up the floor and hear some suggestions.
Thanks,
John Martyn
