Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu Touch/phone

hi
I don't mean to imply that smart phones are any way detrimental to blind
people. I personally don't see the use of one but I'm old fashioned lol.
My main problem was how everything on here seems to somehow degenerate
into a "windows is better than linux" or "I just looooooooooove my apple
device, why doesn't linux have iTunes?" Us linux people chime in, and it
turns into an argument no one can win without telling someone their
opinion is wrong, which I try my best not to do.
Thanks
Kendell clark
