Re: Gnome and support for the visually impaired

[Jan and Bertil Smark Nilsson <bjsn tpg com au>]

Greetings,

There is no doubt that Gnome access is, at the moment, inferior to Windows 
access for visually impaired people. However, those of us who were using 
computers when Windows started will remember the problems we had then. I, 
for one, appreciate very much the work that's being done around the world 
to make Gnome and KDE accessible as well as the work being done on 
terminal access. I've no doubt that we'll soon have access to Gnome to the 
same extent as we have to Windows - the only difference being that we 
won't have to pay thousands of dollars for the pleasure. Full marks to all 
those people who work hard to make it happen. it's up to us, the users, to 
provide positive criticism and pass on what we perceive as weaknesses to 
those who have the knowledge and energy to improve the situation.
