It seems to me that the energy being put into creating a lot of CDs that are accessible could better be spent 
in making mainstream life CDs more accessible. One problem That plagues the so-called accessible CDs is that 
they fall far behind the live CDs that they were originally made for for example, vinux Was an outstanding 
distro based on Ubuntu, but now it is far out of date, having been based on version 10.04. This is one reason 
why I appreciate all the hard work that is been done to make gnome commonly accessible. Anyone can open orca 
from gnome and use it completely ice free. Start orca and carry on from there.
