["Thomas D. Ward" <slingshooter valkyrie net>]

Hi, as a blind individual I am glad to see this award being awarded to 
this cause. I and many others are vary excited and happy that this Gnome 
access project has come. In fact I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve 
waiting for Christmas morning to come.

I don't know if you guys know this but it will drastically bring the cost 
of adaptive products down to an affordible level. On average a blind 
computer user will pay from $500-$1500 for a screen reader, equaly as much 
for magnification, and at least $100.00 or more for dictation software.  
Plus all this will eventually be offered on my favorite os Linux.

Thanks guys for making this a reality.
