[orca-list] Vinux 1.3 Released!

["Bob Tinney" <tinneyb charter net>]

Hi,

I've remained silent on this issue, but I feel compelled to reply to this
announcement.   I have real problems with a special install of an operating
system for the blind.  If we, the blind and visually impaired, insist on
segregating ourselves, that lets all software and system developers and 
companies off the accessibility hook.  Ubuntu, Solaris, and the Gnome
project have been working hard to improve accessibility.  Things are not
perfect, but I can't see how the landscape can be made better by putting a
fence around ourselves.

That is why I am going to continue to work with mainstream operating system
releases.  It is the only way to move forward on a par with everyone else!

Sincerely,
